I extracted the xampp xampp-linux-1.6.7 package to the Ubuntu 8.10 system and followed the instructions from the mod_wsgi documentation. I get the error message below:
ravi@Ibex:~/mod_wsgi-2.3$ ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/lampp/bin/apxs
checking Apache version... cannot open /opt/lampp/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /opt/lampp/bin/apxs line 218.

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in
I could not find instructions for getting mod_wsgi on xampp. Please, help.
Solution: The solution for this is buried in the comments. Thanks Martin vs Lewis I was able to solve this. When apxs errors and errors occur due to the missing config_vars.mk file, this means that the Apache build directory is missing. Fox xampp users, this is the solution to download xampp-dev, and extract it in the same way.
