Updating libtool on 10.1.5

Hi to the forum,
I'm trying to update the apache build on our OSX box, and I have a two part question.

1) Forgive my newbieness. What's the default install directory on an OSX box for a new Apache build? Does prefix=/usr/local/apache2, or will this break mac functionality?

2) The documentation says if you want to be happy with the results, you will have installed a new version of libtool (4.2 specifically) before you install apache. The libtool documentation says it requires a patch in order to work properly on a darwin system:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php

I have not worked much with scripting, so am unsure where in ltmain.sh and configure the patches listed are to be applied. Can anyone help?
 
I would be sure you really need Apache 2.x before you upgrade. Besides the usual OSX versus the Unix free world installation issues - IMHO Apache 2 is not ready for production server. I installed Apache 2 and updated PHP , etc. on my Linux servers and just had nothing but trouble around every corner I went. I would solve one problem and another would crop up.

Just my opinion...
 
Decision change from higher up. Looks like we're now only including ssh instead of upgrading the whole thing. Thanks for the advice, and the package; one never knows if the winds will change again.

Those patches are in a format understood by the 'patch' tool. Copy the patch into a file, then invoke 'patch oldfile < patchfile' where oldfile is the file to be patched and patchfile is the file containing the patch.
