I have done all of the above (as far as I know) and still no luck.

Here is a brief screen capture of a recent config attempt per instructions
from the squid-cache web page:

./configure --enable-basic-auth-helpers=/usr/local/squid/libexec
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for mawk... (cached) mawk

[snipped]

Store modules built: ufs
Removal policies built: lru
Hostname sanity checks enabled
Auth scheme modules built: basic
ERROR: Basic auth helper /usr/local/squid/libexec does not exists
debian:/home/scott/squid-2.5.STABLE13#

What am I missing?

Thanks.
