apache 2.0.51 on Fedora
i am trying to install Apache 2.0.51 on Fedora using gcc 3.4.2.
when i run the following: ./configure --enable-so --enable-cgi --enable-info --enable-rewrite --enable-spelling --enable-usertrack --enable-deflate --enable-ssl i get this error "Checking whether to enable mod_deflate..... Configure: error: mod_deflate has been requested but can not be built due to prerequistie failures.." then when i try to run ' make' i get the following error: "make: no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop" I am new to linux and i am afraid that it might be a dump question but please spare a couple of minutes to assist me. thank you very much in advance. |
Welcome to LQ!
The problem is pretty straightforward based on what you said -- you told configure to build Apache with mod_deflate enabled, but it can't because it's missing some software you need to make mod_deflate work. As a result, configure does not finish, does not build a makefile, and you can't run make. There are a couple of things you can do: 1) live without mod_deflate 2) figure out what's missing (one or both of the zlib and zlib-devel packages maybe?) -- config.log should tell you the exact problem. 3) install Apache from RPM. Hope this helps -- ask if something's not clear to you! |
Thank you for the help.
well, i have checked my "config.log" file and here what i found : checking for zlib location result: not found checking whether to enable mod_deflate error: mod_deflate has been reqested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures. i am sure that zlib is installed on my pc because i ran rpm -q zlib and it came back with zlib-1.2.0.7-2 plus while looking in the config.log i see alot of || test ! -s conftest.err confiure: failed program was : ?*confdefs.h. */ again thank for you time and your help |
possible fix: zlib

Have you tried this? # yum install zlib-devel |
zlib
Try this:
