Thanks for the support !!
I followed your advice and reinstalled everything from sources (my configure
options):
apache_1.3.22.tar.gz
(--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --enable-module=most -
- enable-shared=max --enable-module=rewrite -enable-shared=rewrite)
mysql-3.23.43.tar.gz (--prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/var/mysql)
php-4.0.6.tar.gz
(--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs)
midgard-lib-1.4.2-1.tar.bz2
(--prefix=/usr/local/midgard --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ --with-expat)
midgard-data-1.4.2-1.tar.bz2
(--with-db-admin-user=root --with-db-admin-password=toto --with-db=midgard -
-with-ip=192.168.1.108 --with-host=myhost --with-blobdir=/usr/local/apache/b
lobs --with-midgard=/usr/local/midgard --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apx
s --with-apache-user=www-data --with-apache-group=www-data --with-install=ne
w)
mod_midgard-1.4.2-1.tar.bz2
(--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-midgard=/usr/local/midgard/ -
-with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ --with-expat --with-midgard-config=/usr/local/
midgard/bin/midgard-config)
my path :
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/u
sr/local/midgard/bin/:/usr/local/apache/bin
I have autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4.
I encountered no major problem during the install (I actually did, but
nothing serious for a normal brain ;-) ), and now I'm stuck again..
