Problems doing a configure with APACHE

Did you already do a -successful- configure;make;make install of php before trying to do the configure for apache?

this may seem like a lame question, but are you sure you have 'gcc' installed as your C compiler?

try specifying 'CC=/path/to/gcc' in your config scripts...

i too had this problem when installing apache onto my solaris 2.7 machine, and was saved shortly afterwards by finding a binary install of it. i definitely do have 'gcc' on my machine, but could not figure out how to force source installs to use it..

hopefully the syntax above will work for you.

ok, now this problem rears its ugly head once again!

i am having to recompile apache 1.3.6 for my solaris 2.7 machine, but keep running into the SAME problem that Walter, in his original post, had.

i am SURE that i have a gcc compiler installed, and i'm sure that i have pointed the configure script to use ~TWO~ different gcc's to compile apache (one at a time)... how do you specify for apache to use this compiler?

Here's my error:

bash-2.02# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=src/modules/standard/mod_so.c
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.6

A test compilation with your Makefile 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.

thanks for your help!

I am running RedHat 7.0 and had the same problem. The error is in the syntax of the --enable-module line. Here is the configure line that worked for me :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so

Hope this helps !
