Apache Install Problems

[urizen]

I'm trying to install Apache on Redhat 6.2 and I'm getting this error in the configure stage:

./ls: can't load library 'libc.so.5'
Checking for sane enviroment.... ls -t failed

And that's it, it won't continue the script. Now when I type ls, I get the "./ls: can't load library 'libc.so.5'"
error.

Somewhere it says something about a broken alias when I look at teh configure help stuff, but I have no idea how to fix this.

You might be better off downloading apache from red hat or one of it's mirror sites. Get an RPM version then do "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" and it will handle all the dependencies and installation for you. Also RH 6.2 is a lot different from 7.0+ so the latest version of apache may have problems with 6.2. The mirror sites should also have older archives where you can get the latest one that worked with 6.2.

Hi,

libc5 is an older version of libc (glibc) and redhat provides a retro-compatibility rpm for stuff based on that. You'd have to install this rpm --> ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm . The actual files install into /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib and the rpm install script handles the rest.

Seems strange to me as to why apache would need that library - which version is that ?
