I would use MySQL v5.x. See Slashcode's INSTALL for more information.

you should be able to apachectl configtest  and have it come out w/  
no errors at that point.
you should be able to fire up httpd and get the stock apache-is- 
installed page, too, at this point.

No suprise. There are several perl modules that you have to install  
by hand. No biggie. Most of them are installed via the Bundle,  
thankfully.

Why R_2_5_0_94?

Did you check Slashcode's SF bug list for this?

Did you grab a checkout of CVS HEAD and do a make install and see if  
you still see the 'strip not defined' problem?

You might want to grab CVS HEAD, or latest t-tag, and use that. I  
just did an install on my laptop w/ the latest CVS-HEAD and it make  
installs and install-slashsite's a brand new working site just fine.
