When I run ./configure --prefix=/apache in either Apache 1.3.6 or Apache 1.3.9, I receive the very strange error message; Configureing for Apache, Version 1.3.9 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout) Creating Makefile Creating Configuration.apaci in src Creating Makefile in src + configured for Linux platform + setting C compiler to gcc + setting C pre-processor to gcc -E + checking for system header files + adding selected modules + checking sizeof various data types + doing sanity check on compiler and options ** A test compilation with your Makfile configuration ** failed. This is most likely because your C compiler ** is not ANSI. Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such ** as gcc. The above error message from your compiler ** will also provide a clue. Aborting! Now, the system is just re-installed with RedHat 6.0, and gcc --version gives egcs-2.91.66 and I have also tried the new 2.95.1 version, but to no avail. The weird side of this is that I have compiled Apache 1.3.6 and 1.3.9 previously on other computers, installed from the same RedHat 6.0 CD. If I bypass the "sanity" check, I will end up with a linking error; gcc -DLINUX=2 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite `./apaci` -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a regex/libregex.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a -lmap/libap.a(ap_chackpass.o): In function `ap_validate_password`: ap_checkpass.o(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `crypt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I had this problem earlier for some small program, and was told to add -lcrypt to the linking flags, which helped. So does it in Apache. BUT, what is going on... Niclas
