Apache Install Error in RHEL-4 Update 6

Nivix · 05-04-2009, 06:28 AM

Dear Friends,

I have Acer G540 Server with RHEL 4 Update 6 + Oracle 10 g Installed. Some applications required web server and i have downloaded httpd-2.2.0 and installed with the following configure option.

#configure --enable-so

I received the following error at the end...
-------------------------------------------------
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr
--------------------------------------------------

I have gcc-3.4.3EL4 and gcc-c++-3.4.3-9EL4 installed

#c++ -v or g++ -v gives the following result:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs

Is there a reason you're not installing the rpm from the RHN?

Probably missing 'glibc-devel' , or need updating ?

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5.3/os/SRPMS/
httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.src.rpm
Shows these options in httpd.spec to get a usable httpd :

Code:

../configure \
        --enable-mods-shared=all \
	--enable-ssl --with-ssl --enable-distcache \
	--enable-proxy \
        --enable-cache --enable-mem-cache \
        --enable-file-cache --enable-disk-cache \
        --enable-ldap --enable-authnz-ldap \
        --enable-cgid \
        --enable-authn-anon --enable-authn-alias \
        --enable-pie --with-pcre

If you can't get a package from RH, the usual way to have httpd is :

# rpmbuild -bb httpd.spec
using the above mentioned httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.src.rpm

or httpd-2.0.52-41.ent.centos4.src.rpm ( EL4.x ) from
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos...i386/SRPMS.os/
