I have a debian server and want to compile the apache source , it pop the below error , if the gcc is installed and its path is set , the libc6-dev is also installed but still have the same error , what is the possible reason of the error ? thx

Apache requires an ANSI C compiler , such as gcc
error output for sanity check
....
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make ***dummy Error 1

Shalom,

check the environment

LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH

Things like this can cause this problem.

'apt-cache search' output doesn't list all installed packages! it generates a list of _available_ packages, big difference.

is there something wrong with apache included with debian? unless some very very specific uses you shouldn't bother with recompiling it again (and as it appears, you're not familiar with apt this could result in some hair-pulling situations).
