hello debian-users, it's good to be here! i could use some help getting mod-perl working.
i've just subscribed to this list, so i am aware only of its archived state only up to '18:22 GMT Tue Sep 07'; apologies if somebody has made a recent inquiry into this. i'm using 'http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable' as my apt source and have encountered the following 'dependency/conflict' problem in dselect: libapache-mod-perl depends on apache-common (<< 1 .3.7-0) i want to get mod-perl working, so i reasoned perhaps the best thing to do would be to build it myself. i installed the apache-dev package and downloaded mod_perl-1.21.tar.gz (from http://perl.apache.org/) gleaning what i can from the description of what comes with apache-dev and given that i already .debs for apache and apache-common installed, i'm guessing the best thing to do is use apxs to build it. so i tried the following: perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1 which gives me a warning: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm then, upon doing a make, i get the fatal error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lgdbm: No such file or directory what am i missing? i tried installing libgdbmg1, libmldbm-perl, even libgdbmg1 thank you for any help, /iain lamb p.s. also, can somebody tell me what the apaci executable in /usr/doc/apache-dev is for and when / if / how to use it?
