mod_R.c: In function 'RApacheError' in make

[Henry Paik]

Hello RApache group,

I am trying to install RApache on my Ubuntu 9.04 and was following
"Quick Install for Debian/Ubuntu"

apt-get install r-base-dev apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-prefork-dev
wget http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/rapache/files/rapache-latest.tar.gz
rapachedir=`tar tzf rapache-latest.tar.gz | head -1`
tar xzvf rapache-latest.tar.gz
cd $rapachedir
./configure
make
make install

It went fine until make.

make did not go through, complaining

Please help.

This is actually a warning that you can ignore at the moment. It will go
away with the next release.

The issue stems from the function ap_log_rerror(), the underlying apache
function called from RApacheError, wanting a format string like "%s"
with additional arguments rather than a pre-formated or literal string.
