I apologize for being redundant....but I thought I would add some of the actual error that appears during the make session of the apache installation.
/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o): In function 'my_uncompress':
my_compress.o(.text+0x12b): undefined reference to 'compress'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: [target_static] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/apache_1.3.12/src'
make[1]: [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/apache_1.3.12'
make: *** [build] Error 2
I have reinstalled linux and my configuration for php is
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-apache=/usr/local/apache_1.3.12 \
--enable-track-vars
and for Apache it is:
./configure --activate module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \
--enable-module=php4 \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache
any help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded with good fortune for the next year.
Thanks..
