apache and libm.so.5

simon · 07-25-2001, 10:53 AM

I'm trying to get apache running but when I type "sh apachectl start" my computer says "/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: can't load library 'libm.so.5'
apachectl start: httpd could not be started"

Can someone suggest where I can find libm.s0.5 and which directory I should install it into when I find it? Thanks

Just a bit more info I probably should have given in the first post
I'm running Debian so Apache isn't built into the distribution.

I found libm.so.6 in my /lib directory. Will this cause problems if I have libm.so.5 as well? Can I configure Apache to look for libm.so.6 instead of libm.so.5?

I found and downloaded libm.so.5 and libc.so.5. Now when I try to run Apache I get an error message saying "apachectl: line 171: 295 Segmentation fault $HTTPD"

In apachectl HTTPD is set to the default value of "/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/apache -R /usr/local/apache/libexec". The only thing on line 171 is "done". I don't have much experience with shell scripts and would appreciate any suggestions.
