error while compiling apache

[alabissiere]

Hi everyone,
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0: I am trying to install apache-1.3.33 and I am getting the following error:

+ doing sanity check on compiler and options
** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed. The below error output from the compilation
** test will give you an idea what is failing. Note that
** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.

======== Error Output for sanity check ========

_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` -lm -lpthread -o helpers/d
ummy helpers/dummy.c
============= End of Error Report =============


Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

What configure options are you passing?

 

[alabissiere]

the command I used is ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/apache

 

[siberian]

Why are you installing apache into the libs directory? That may be causing a conflict since apache itself will want to install libs there and it might be getting circular.

Try /usr/local/apache instead for your prefix. its a long show but its a shot

 

[alabissiere]

You are right! there was no /lib in my command. So it must be something else... You can give me some ideas...

No man, read what I wrote. You are using

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib/apache

why are you installing apache into a LIBRARY DIRECTORY? You have to understand that this is not a place for apps.

Run it like this

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

and it may give you a different result.

That is the command I used. Like I told u, in my first reply to u, I put a /lib but there wasn't any.
Anayway, this is not working neither. I downloaded a version from bullfreeware.com that I installed using smit install_latest, but when I tried to start the server, I got the following error and I don't know what that means:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd because of th

Try compiling apache 2.0 See if that works for you.

So far you have tried compiling 1.3.x and you have tried a binary installation.

Try downloading the latest 2.0 (not 2.1) and executing this

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2

alabissiere,

There are also precompiled binaries for AIX available on the download mirrors, but they appear to be only 1.x.

This might be another option if you have no luck with compiling Apache 2.x.
