Your help will be very much appreciated to resolve the following issue.
When attempting to make mod_perl.so, the make script 'almost' makes a
touchdown but fails before getting to the finishing line. Now it is
time get some help from a coach. Hopefully, with a little help, a
touchdown will soon follow. Below, I present was appears to be the
problem, but someone else will have to direct me to the next set of
steps.
I've spend an extensive amount of time trying to resolve this myself and
it needs another set of eyes. The news groups were reviewed
(repeatedly) for assistance, on-line docs, and what available books I
could find.
The environment is RH 8.0, Apache 2.0.43, Perl 5.8.0, mod_perl 1.99_07.
As best as I can tell, Apache, Perl, and mod_perl have been compiled
using the recommended configuration options listed in either Redhat's
instructions or mod_perl's on-line docs. Get care has been taken to try
to dot every one and cross every 't' to my ability.
This problem 'may' have to do with an issue of a change of naming
conventions which were adapted by the apr apache group. Confer with
Stas Bekman's post on Nov 26, 2002 with a title of "Problems compiling
mod_perl 1.99_07 in RH 8.0". He provides a cvs patch; but,
unfortunately, I'm not familiar with using that-as least-as of yet.
(Look's like I might have learn this package real soon.) Are they any
intentions to update the mod_perl-1.99_07.tar.gz? If my conclusion is
correct, then currently, and according to the on-line instructions, the
present tar.gz edition is not compatible to the latest edition of
apache. (2.0.43). So, 'maybe' the cause of my make failure. It appears
as if, only the cvs repository maybe a valid for compiling. If my
analysis is correct, and a new edition of the respective non-cvs files
be acquired somehow.
I confuse my ignorance and lack of familiarity with these packages so I
could be off.
Thank you. Steve
The environment is described below.
Apache has been configured with "--prefix=/etc/httpd
--with-mpm=prefork".
Perl has been configured with "-des -Dusethreads -Doptimize='-g'
-Dusedevel".
The perl Makefile.PL was flagged with "MP_AP_PREFIX=/etc/httpd
MP_INST_APACHE2=1 MP_APXS=/etc/httpd/bin". (I also, attempted to
configure the mod_perl makefile with the MP_APXS which generated the
same error message.)
The details follow below.
Here is excerpt from the screen dump from the make output.
