Hi am trying to compile apache2.0.54 source on Redhat EL 5.4 64 bit machine and I am getting following error, I have done what I could find by goggling, can anyone help me

I have done the config with following options

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2.0.54 --enable-so

Thanks and bust regards

I don't know how RH organises its 32 bit and 64 bit files, but that error sounds like it reading 32 bit instead of 64 bit. Have you tried setting ./configure options to point to /usr/lib64/libdb-4.3.so (that's a guess for the 64 bit lib directory)?

hi gilead, no I did not, let me try that and thanks for the reply

Hi hope I am doing the right thing, any case I passwd this two options fro configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-libdir=lib64 but stll make giving me above error

hi I found this post by GATTACA URL
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...format-563541/

As he/she suggest, by including configure option --with-expat=builtin I was able to comple without any issues. But I am unable to find --with-expat this option in --help, (I thining we are just asking the compiler to use what ever librarys comes with apache to use hope I am right)

But this dosent work with 2.0.54 but works with 2.0.58

Best Regards
