configure error with Apache

[shamini samuthrarathnam]

I'm having trouble doing an Apache installation on HP-UX
I have an apache_1.3.19-9000-715-hp-hpux11.00.tar file, have unpacked and attempted to configure using the auto-generated config.status copied into a script
I have edited the script to provide a value for the variable RANLIB, but the make exits with:
===> src/regex
.... some compilations
rm -f libregex.a
ar cr libregex.a regcomp.o regexec.o regerror.o regfree.o
/bin/true libregex.a
Make: Cannot load /bin/true. Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

I think the attempt to load /bin/true should actually be my definition for RANLIB, but somehow it is not getting substituted correctly during configure: in the Makefile in src/regex, there are 2 entries for RANLIB, the first is the correct RANLIB location, while the second (overrides the first) is set to /bin/true

Has anyone observed this and how have you got round it ?

Thanks,

Hi shamini,

What's the version of your HP-UX? If it's 11.00 or 11.i you can use hp "apache-based web server v.1.3.19.23 on hp-ux 11.0 and 11i (pa-risc)".
You can download it for free from: http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B9415AAPA1319.
And you will use swinstall to install the software.
I hope this help.
