Hello All,

I am trying to compile Apache 2.0.63 on AIX v5.3.Compilation is failing with the below error-

checking for APR... reconfig

See `config.log' for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr

The Config.log shows the below-

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63. Invocation command line was

configure: exit 77

I have already re-installed the gcc complier.The version of the gcc compiler is gcc-4.2.0-3.I have the below packages installed on my machine

gcc-4.2.0-3
libgcc-4.2.0-3
libstdc++-4.2.0-3
libstdc++-devel-4.2.0-3

Kindly help in resolving the issue.Am i missing some thing out here?

I'm not familiar with AIX, so I might be well off the mark. Check if you have binutils installed, especially ld

Are you able to compile programs with your compiler?

For errors like this, you usually have to open the configure script, search for the error that it dumped out and look for the source to the program it is trying to compile. Put the source in a file, and compile it by hand with the compile line that should be close to the source. Then you'll see the exact error that configure is getting attempting the compile.
