I was just able to build mod_jk on Amazon Linux (roughly RHEL) by: 1. Installing http-devel and gcc-c++ packages 2. Running configure 3. Removing gcc-c++ and gcc46-c++ packages (this removes the C++ compiler) 4. Running make This resulted in a .so file that I have not actually tried running (in httpd), but have every reason to believe would work just fine. I think this is just an erroneous requirement of "configure". Can anyone give me some pointers for how to modify the capabilities-scanning that configure does? -chris
