Hello,
I am attempting to get a clean up-to-date install Apache with static linked mod_perl (using current stable releases for Apache (2.2.17) and mod_perl (2.0.5) from .tar.gz files download from respective repositories) but am at a frustrating dead end. I am looking for any suggestions as I have an immediate need for this. Here are the steps I have taken (multiple times): 1) configured a new RHEL 5 32 bit virtual machine with 2 CPUs and 4G RAM using "software development" template and no additional software (no httpd), default PERL install of 5.8.8... 2) all RHEL updates as of 4/17 applied 3) download source for PERL 5.12.3, and installed a. # ./Configure -des -Uusethreads b. make, make test, make install (no errors) 4) installed from CPAN "Bundle::Apache2" (tried both with and without this step, # /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.3 -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::Apache2") 5) though was using the official .tar.gz distribution of Apache, I did run ./buildconf in the Apache source directory for consistency (no errors) 6) executed the mod_perl config in the mod_perl source directory: # /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.3 Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 MP_AP_PREFIX=/root/httpd-2.2.17 MP_AP_CONFIGURE="-with-mpm=prefork" and this is always the result at the end, what is interesting is that in all the previous config steps, there don't seem to be any issues in finding and working with apr related stuff.... Configuring Apache/2.2.17 mod_perl/2.0.5 Perl/v5.12.3 Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Use of uninitialized value $v in substitution (s///) at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1330. [ error] Can't find apr include/ directory, [ error] use MP_APR_CONFIG=/path/to/apr-config (END) Thinking there was maybe a conflict with RHEL apr I did try running # yum remove apr* to remove RHEL related packages.... repeated the whole process same result....same results with Perl 5.8.8 I really can't believe that virgin stable release TARs on a pretty much standard RHEL 5 installs would be this difficult to get to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Edward S.
