Dear readers,

I'm learning to create my home webserver using apache http.
when I'm on the way to install it by "./configure", error as follow showed.. someone knows what is the problem here?

Thanks for helping!

Why not just:

yum install httpd

and install it the easy way?

You youngsters...always wanting the easy way...

Try using the --with-included-apr switch...
But all rhetoric aside... I agree with lazlow...just use yum to install...if you have no access to the internet; you can install it via the Fedora 9 DVD

-C

Thanks lazlow,
I just want to find out what is happening with the issue.. so i would prefer to learn the detail..

Hi Custangro,
Thanks, it works by following your suggestion, still have problem.. is it mean i don't have C compiler or something for programming? I didn't install any programming tools for this during initial fedora setup.

yum install gcc

Should be a start.

Edit:

If you download the src rpm(not the binary rpm) you can extract the spec file and see what "tweaks" have to be made in order to compile.

If you are really interested in understanding what is going on under the hood, Fedora is not the distro for you. Take a look at gentoo or slackware. They are better suited to compiling you own stuff all the time.

I agree; If you start compiling things in a distro that was meant to have a package manager; you will have problems in the future when installing patches and upgrades...

Hello,


I am install Apache 2.2.15 and get the below error. Anybody have any idea?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
