Thanks Jeff.apxs uses apr-config. Check out the LDFLAGS in apr-config, in particular the -brtl option. Your best bet is to use apxs to compile your modules. That way, you will be sure to pick up all the right compile and link options, macro definitions, etc.
I am facing the same type of problem mentioned by you. Originally I was running my application on Apache 1.3.26 & i was using httpd.exp. It was working fine. apachectl start started the server properly & our library was loaded.
Now we are switching to apache 2.0.43 and facing error while starting apachectl. The error is as below: Syntax error on line 147 of /usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /home/agent5x/Installables/lib/my_lib.so into server:
I am using the httpd.exp as I did in 1.3.26. With this appraoch my library is not even getting loaded. As per suggested by you in your reply it seems that the problem is with httpd.exp approach. You mentioned the runtime linking approach. Which runtime libraries i need to link my application with.
It will be of great help to us.
Kindly advise,
