Hi, I am using Apache2.2.6 on Ubuntu6.06. My installation of Apache is in this way: 1) I installed Apache included apr 2) I downloaded apr-util-1.2.12 from Apache website, because the included apr-util cannot be installed (If you are interested, I got this error: libtool: install: error: cannot install `libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/apache2/lib) During installation of apr-util, I used --with-expat=/usr to tell it to use my system installed libexpat. 3) In my Apache2 lib directory, there's an old version libexpat sitting there, because I originally installed Apache without --with-expat option.
4) After recompilation, I issued ldd httpd, the result is as following: libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002aebe6011000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002aebe6127000) libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/local/apr-util-httpd//lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00002aebe62ac000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002aebe63c4000) libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00002aebe64e8000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00002aebe6610000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00002aebe6718000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002aebe684c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aebe6961000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aebe6a63000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aebe5efa000) httpd is now using libexpat in /usr/lib directory, which is the system installed libexpat. 5) After restarted Apache, I checked opening file of the running Apache, I got this: $ ps aux | grep http | head -3 root 4757 0.0 3.9 47972 10212 ? Ss Apr04 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k restart apache 29984 0.0 3.4 48104 8992 ? S 23:31 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k restart apache 29985 0.0 3.2 47972 8580 ? S 23:31 0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k restart $ sudo /usr/sbin/lsof -p 4757 | grep expat httpd 4757 root mem REG 8,1 397288 1183944 /usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.so.0.1.0 httpd 4757 root mem REG 8,1 143944 1115945 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.0.0 As the result shows, Apache loads two version of libexpat. The one in Apache installation location is not needed as shown by ldd result. The two libexpats are in different versions. The one in Apache directory is 1.95.2, while the one in /usr/lib directory is 1.95.8. I have also installed mod_python 3.3.1, so the conflict of libexpat version crashes Apache every time libexpat is used. Anyone has idea to solve this? Many thanks.
