Thanks for your advice. But I think that there's nothing comparable in Apache 2.x. I've wrote an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perhaps is there a possibility I don't know about and one of the guys there could help me. Do you have other ideas how I could solve my problem??

I don't know if this is still possible with httpd 2.x, but what used I in an RPM package at the time was --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE mkdir shared_core cp -p src/libhttpd.ep src/libhttpd.so src/httpd shared_core # install shared-core apache install -m 755 shared_core/libhttpd.ep $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_libdir}/%{name} install -m 755 shared_core/libhttpd.so $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_libdir}/%{name} ln -s %{_libdir}/%{name}/libhttpd.ep $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_sbindir}/httpd-shared_core ln -s %{_libdir}/%{name}/libhttpd.so $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_libdir}/libhttpd.so At the time, that was reportedly working to build DSOs with Kylix 3.
