Apache Installation problemHi

Hi all,

I'm getting a wierd error installing apache

Could anyone give me a hand on this plz?

Code:

Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.29
 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
Creating Makefile
Creating Configuration.apaci in src
Creating Makefile in src
 + configured for Linux platform
 + setting C compiler to gcc
 + setting C pre-processor to gcc -E
 + using "tr [a-z] [A-Z]" to uppercase
 + checking for system header files
 + adding selected modules
 + using builtin Expat
 + checking sizeof various data types
 + doing sanity check on compiler and options
** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed.  The below error output from the compilation
** test will give you an idea what is failing. Note that
** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; gcc  -DLINUX=22 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci`     -o helpers/dummy helpers/dummy.c   -lm
============= End of Error Report =============

 Aborting!

I have no clue what am I doing wrong... I'm

to linux anyway... Prolly something pretty basic

Misc info:

Code:

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)

Thanks in advance,

Can you post up the ./configure options you are passing to Apache?

Cool

NoBrains · 02-27-2004, 12:18 PM

./configure --prefix=/opt/apache

Is the command I'm typing in the KDE Terminal

Are you able to compile other, smaller applications? Also, ensure you are root... I'm not too up on my Fedora knowledge, so it may simply be an application that is required to be installed before compiling can take place. If that's the case, you might simply want to use the package on the Fedora Install CD or mirror and install that instead of a tarball that needs compiling.

I'll wait to move this to the Fedora forum to see if that's what you want me to do or not.

Cool

I'm too new to linux to know how to compile other applications :P I was just following the Install file

As far as I know the only thing that I need to have installed is GCC.

Yes, I could do this with an RPM I supose but... I would like to try do it without it as I'm aiming to get some practice in this Linux routines

This is my 2nd installation of Fedora and in the 1st one I didn't have a problem with this I might have missed some installation package but I don't know which :/

MasterC · 02-27-2004, 12:34 PM

Possibly make... You ought to see if you can find a small source file to compile, something easy on your system to see if you meet minimums

And for now, I'll move this to Fedora so the users can answer this question more definitively.

Moving to Distributions - Fedora

Cool

So far so good

Prolly had a damaged package from my country mirror :/

Thanks for the help anyway.

Will post when installation is complete :=)

Edit --> Make complete
Waiting for Make Install to complete
