Hi, i want to install apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl on my debian linux.

When manually building mod_perl using the shared library:

cd mod_perl-1.xx
perl Makefile.PL PREP_HTTPD=1
make
make test
make install

cd ../apache_1.3.xx
./configure --with-layout=RedHat --target=perlhttpd
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a

I got the following error messages:

gcc -c -I./os/unix -I./include -DLINUX=2 -DTARGET=\"perlhttpd\" -DUSE_HSREGEX
-DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite `./apaci` buildmark.c

[more errors snipped]

The official website says this happens when you have Perl built statically linked, with no shared libperl.a, and they suggest that building a dynamically linked Perl (with libperl.a) and the problem will disappear.....

I wonder anyone knows how to
"build a dynamically linked Perl with libperl.a" ???

thanks a lot!!
