after installation on mac os x was a breeze the same installation fails terribly on suse linux ("Premature packet header end"). as far a i understand the binary for the mod_webapp.co does not work here and it the sources has to be compiled. apparently, i need all the apache sources to do so and i'm too busy for this.

here's the question: does anyone have a compiled mod_webapp.co that works with suse linux on the pc? cheers.

I just checked in a fix for the global link macro, which was broken as reported here and here, and updated the file on antville.org. The global link macro should now work as described in the macro documentation, i.e. it can be used to create links where the target URL is passed as-is. Of course, using relative links is still possible by explicitly using weblog.link, story.link etc. The old method of using the request path to get a hopobject on which to call the link macro was buggy since the request path could lead to the weblog, a day or topic object or a story object for the same link macro tag, depending on how it was accessed.

For those interested, here's the diff of global/macros.js
