Topic: Compilation problem with Apache configuration & LDAP

[sasi1503]

Hi,

We are trying to compile Apache with LDAP and followed below steps for the LDAP configuration followed by compilation.

Configure:

[James Blond]

Did you run the configure 3 times with different configurations and than make?

e.g.

[sasi1503]

Yes Blond..I have used configure like this 3 times.

./configure --prefix=/Volumes/app/apache2.2/httpd-2.2.22 --enable-threads --enable-other-child - apr
./configure --prefix=/Volumes/app/apache2.2/httpd-2.2.22 --with-apr=../apr --with-ldap-lib=/usr/lib --with-ldap-include=/usr/include --with-ldap=ldap - apr-util
./configure --enable-ldap --enable-authnz-ldap --with-included-apr

after that i tried to build using 'make' and got export.c error.

Also i never tried to download 'apr, apr-util and apr-iconv.it comes along with apache installation.

Do you want me to install this 3 things seperately.

apr,
apr-util
and apr-iconv

if so,please provide me the url to download

Thanks,
Sasi

First thing is, that you need to run the configure only ONCE with all paramters. Elsewise the the compile configuration is only from the last configure run.

You don't need to install apr,apr-util and apr-iconv. Depending on your system you could. But for having the last version download it. You find the three downloads on http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi
It also does not hurt to have pcre
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.21.zip and zlib http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz
Unpack all into the srclib folder an remove the numbers in the folder names. Folder layout should be like

Thanks for your quick response Blond !

I have followed your steps and made some progress and the previous errors gone now and am getting new errors as below:

checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file.
configure failed for srclib/apr-util

Thanks,

Could you please help me with the above errors.

That looks fine. Only pcre did not compile. So I think you should try to install pcre on your system and delete the one in your srclib folder. I had such a problem with one of my distros, too.

By the way you didn't tell which Linux distro you are using yet

[sasi1503]

Thanks James for your suggestions

I renamed the previous pcre file and installed the new one from the below sites

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.21.zip

after that only i got this error.please let me know your suggestion on this.

In between we are using the following version

SunOS amrndhs124 5.10 Generic_144488-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490

Thanks,
Sasi

[James Blond]

I haven't done anything with a sunOS yet.
However. On one of my debian boxes I had to install pcre on the system. e.g. sudo apt-get install pcre
Than there was no need to have pcre in the srclib folder.
