imp

[Quenten Griffith <qgriffith@edm1.com>]

Hello all I wish to install IMP which is a PHP web based IMAP web mail 
client.  One of its dependencies is Apache, which I already have 
installed from source by hand instead of using the deb package for it. 
Since I did not install the deb of Apache and Imp wants to pull in 
Apache what are my options?  Compile everything by hand including PHP 
Imp etc etc.  Install the deb for Apache and then link everything from 
my self complied version of Apache to where the deb installs Apache? 
Backup my conf files for Apache and then move them over to the new 
install of apache?  I would like to be able to not have to install the 
deb apache at all if possiable, for I had to build some things into my 
own apache that may not be in Debians version (such as frontpage 
extensions for some microsoft loving users I have).  Is there a way to 
avoid pulling apache in?  Are the other debs such as PHP and IMP 
configured to look for Apache only where the Apache.deb would be?  If so 
then I guess I have to hand complie everything?
