Thanks for accepting the patches necessary to get Apache to build with DSO support on SCO OpenServer. I'll try to explain the need for additional patches.
First, a kernel bug in OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 made it necessary to build Apache with USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT. That bug was fixed in 5.0.4 and a patch made available for 5.0.0/5.0.2 systems. Further, i have created an installation script which detects what release you are installing on and whether you need to apply the "Network Maintenance Supplement". Therefore, i can now build Apache without the USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT which gets me much better performance. So, as long as you get Apache for OpenServer from _me_ (that is, the SCO Skunkware CD-ROM or web site), you're ok. If you build it yourself, you'd better know whether you need to apply the appropriate support supplement. Second, you were right, i was able to remove the find-dbm-lib patch and successfully build Apache 1.3.0. Forget that patch. Third, i still find the addition of "-lx -ltinfo -lm" to be necessary on OpenServer. It's no doubt a bug or at least incorrectly documented, but any time -lprot is used you also need -lx and -ltinfo to get nap(), cur_term(), setup_term() and others. I've informed our development system guys and this may be fixed in a later release but for now these libs are necessary. FYI, libx is the SCO Xenix enhancements which have been carried forward since time immemorial while libtinfo is the terminfo library. It looks like libprot is supposed to setup its own curses stuff but isn't built correctly. To summarize, i believe the patches i submitted for src/Configure and src/include/conf.h are appropriate.
