Apache installation problem
 

Hello,

I'm attempting to install apache but receive the following errors:

configure: error: in '/usr/src/httpd-2.2.13/srclib/apr':
configure: error: C compiler can not create executables

gcc-4.2.4-i486-1 is installed, but i don't have a full install of 12.2.

Thank You

apache is available from n/ directory, so you only need to install it using installpkg (don't forget to install apr and apr-utils as well)

if you want to compile it from source, you may need to install gcc-g++ also

Thanks for your response, but i've got gcc-g++ -4.2.4-i486-1 installed at the time i received the errors.

What willysr is saying, is that Apache is a package that has already been compiled by the developers of Slackware. He mentions you can get it from the n/ directory which is on the dvd or any of the mirrors. He also lists the two dependencies that it requires.

If, when you installed, you did a full install, apache is already installed and you just need to go into /etc/rc.d and make sure that rc.httpd is executable. Then apache will start on boot.

And if you want to build it yourself, start with the Slackbuild provided in the source directories.

Brian

Thanks again
 

Thanks for the suggestions but at this point i'm trying to figure out what is causing the following errors.

configure: error: in '/usr/src/httpd-2.2.13/srclib/apr':
configure: error: C compiler can not create executables

I've installed the following packages but still no luck.

glibc-solibs-2.7-i486-17
glib-1.2.10-i486-3
gib2-2.16.6-i486-1
glibc-2.7-i486-17
glibc-i18n-2.7-noarch-17

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm aware that i can install apache from the installation cds but that won't solve my problem.

What is your goal? Why are you recompiling?

My suggestion was to start with the Slackbuild, which is a script for compiling apache, and make the modifications that you need.
