Well, I found my own silly mistake. I had an environment variable INSTALL set which pointed to the directory in question. Once removed, all went well. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Steven Ellenberger [mailto:marke@xxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2014 6:14 PM To: 'users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: I am very new to apache so please bear with me... I am trying to install apache on a Solaris server and it is failing with the following when I run 'make install': Reaping winning child 0x000aefa8 PID 23106 /itgd/u65/hp/install -m 644 /itgd/u65/apache/install/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr/include/apr.h /itgd/u65/apache/product/httpd/2.2.21 /include Live child 0x000aefa8 (install) PID 23117 /bin/bash: /itgd/u65/hp/install: No such file or directory Reaping losing child 0x000aefa8 PID 23117 make[2]: *** [install] Error 127 Removing child 0x000aefa8 PID 23117 from chain. make[2]: Leaving directory `/itgd/u65/apache/install/httpd-2.2.21/srclib/apr' Reaping losing child 0x0006bdf0 PID 23095 make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Removing child 0x0006bdf0 PID 23095 from chain. make[1]: Leaving directory `/itgd/u65/apache/install/httpd-2.2.21/srclib' Reaping losing child 0x0007c8c8 PID 23089 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Removing child 0x0007c8c8 PID 23089 from chain. What I am unable to figure out is why the install is picking up /itgd/u65/hp/install. This is a valid directory but has nothing to do with my install. I even renamed the actuall directory to /itgd/u65/hp/_install and it is still being picked up as /itgd/u65/hp/install. I have tried to run 'make clean' then delete both the location I am trying to install from and to and starting over by unbundling the apache tar file and running a new iteration of configure. (I am sure I have left some pertinent information that is needed to answer my question so please just ask and I will provide it). Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
