I am attempting to install mod_perl 1.21 for Apache 1.3.11 on AIX
4.3.3. I am repeatedly running into the following problem when I do
the configuration of Apache with mod_perl, whether attempting it as a DSO
or including mod_perl in the original Apache configuration. I have
checked out the FAQs and mailing lists, and I think it may be a compiler
issue, but I am not sure (see below). Here is the error
output:
+ doing sanity check on compiler and options
** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed. The below error output from the compilation
** test will give you an idea what is failing. Note that
** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.

I also found, in the mod_perl guide, under Installation and
troubleshooting, that I should check for libgdbm.so files to see if it
has been installed:
"Missing or Misconfigured libgdbm.so
On some RedHat systems you might encounter a problem during the perl
Makefile.PL stage,
when the installed perl was built with gdbm library, but the
library
isn't actually installed. If this is your situation make sure you install
it, before proceeding with
the build process."
The problem is, I have no idea how to install the gdbm library
once Perl has been built. Do I
need to rebuild Perl? I am looking into this too, but I would appreciate
any input. I have verified that there are no libgdbm.so files on
our system, but we are not running RedHat. I was not the original
builder of Perl on this system, and the original builder is off doing
other things.
Again, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan
