[Viswanadhan]

Hi Admin,

Im unable to configure the apache_1.3.17, when i do the following

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

Then i got the following error.

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; cc -DHPUX11 -Aa -Ae -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` -o helpers/dummy helpers/dummy.c -lm -lpthread

Shalom Viswa,

You are using an extremely old version of apache, one that HP has dropped support for.

You compile options are trying to use Ansi C which is obviously not installed.

You options are:
1) Get a modern version of apache from http://software.hp.com search for apache or hpws. Install the pre-compiled depot.
2) Install the Ansi C compiler, which last I checked was a pay-for product that runs around $1,000/CPU.


I'm sure there are other options, but I limited myself to the realistic ones.

Hi Steven,

It's diffecult to buy ANCI C immediately.

Thanks for help.

Hi Steven,

Is there any way to install Apache without investing the money immediately ?

1. Find a binary kit for Apache on HP-UX
(for your version and hardware achitecture).

2. If you really want to compile it from the
sources, I'd assume that GCC could be used.

http://gcc.gnu.org/

Again, you should be able to find an
appropriate binary kit for GCC which you
could install.
