Can't start Apache 2.0.39 (bindist) on Solaris 8

[mclaugd1]

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to install the binary version of Apache 2.0.39 on Solaris 8 (Sparc). With the binary files copied to /usr/local/apache2 and using the following command:

. apachectl -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -k start

I get the following error:

Syntax error on line 235 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so into server: ld.so.1:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache2/m
odules/mod_auth_digest.so: symbol __floatdidf: referenced symbol not found

Following the same steps as above with the binary version (for RedHat 7.3) works perfectly under Linux and the Apache server starts.

A second thing I tried under Solaris was install gcc along with all the appropriate (so I believe) add-ons and tried compiling Apache from the source code. The ./configure command got pretty far but died at a configuration error relating to mod_auth_digest, just like above.

I don't care if I have to compile it or use the binaries, I just don't know why this error is occuring. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
