Error encountered when executting ./configure to compile

[Lancbar]

Error is encountered when attempting to compile Apache 1.3.19 on Solaris 7 server:
typed in:

./configure --prefix=/opt/mass1/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max

result:

cd ..; gcc -DSOLARIS2=270 -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED
`./apaci` -o helpers/dummy helpers/dummy.c -lsocket -lnsl
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
make: *** [dummy] Error 1
======== Error Output for sanity check ========
============= End of Error Report =============


Anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this? thanks

I don't know what your specific problem is, but it's probably connected to the Apache compile trying to load a module that doesn't have all its dependencies resolved on your system. You might try re-doing the ./compile with only specific modules enabled, and if it still bombs, keep re-trying it with one less module each time until you find the one that doesn't work. (I notice the call to the Expat library is close to your error message, so that might be it)

Also, everyone I know who has tried compiling Apache 1.3.19 has had trouble. Have you considered rolling back to 1.3.14?
