Can anyone point me at an example of how to download/compile/install a
package from source?

I often do this when a version supplied by a distro doesn't include
functionality I want. I generally only need it for faster moving
projects but back in 2006 I was compiling apache to take advantage of
mod_proxy_balancer that wasn't available in dapper.

thanks,

Mike
