To answer some of your other questions about gcc, when I try to install libapreq-1.3 to get Apache::Request I get the following error: sh-2.05$ make make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mason_install/libapreq-1.3/c' gcc -c -I/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/Apache/include -I/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/Apache/include/modules/perl -I/usr/local/apache/include -I/include -I/usr/local/apache/include -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O2 -DVERSION=\"0.10\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.10\" -fpic -I/usr/local/perl/lib/5.6.0/i686-linux/CORE apache_request.c make[1]: gcc: Command not found make[1]: *** [apache_request.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mason_install/libapreq-1.3/c' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 So gcc is not found. I'm hosting on what is called a virtual dedicated server at Jumpline.com. Somehow they have it setup where you use part of a server but have SSH access and can reboot and install anything you want. It is pretty cool and it is about $15/month. Anyway maybe they configued the server not to have gcc. Does anyone know an easy way to install gcc? You know a couple of Unix commands. Dave suggestion of using: PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod CGI seems to have worked! So I'm excited. What tradoffs are there with using this method as opposed to Apache::Request? I'm just trying to build a web site that can have Perl in the HTML and access a MYSQL database. Thanks for everything. You guys have been great. --- Dave Rolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 6 Oct 2003, Global Junk wrote: > > > I'm trying to get Mason installed on my Linux > server. > > I'm running Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26. > > > > I've tried to install the Apache::Request module. > > First I tried to install libapreq-1.3 to get > > Apache::Request.
