Re: Unable to build Apache httpd

Perhaps the libtool version is older/different - what happens when you remove the space?

I'm trying to build Apache httpd RPM from the source tarball as mentioned in https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html

 

However, it always fails with the error "libtool:   error: require no space between '-L' and '-R'"

 

Complete Error :

    /usr/lib64/apr-1/build/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc           -o htpasswd  htpasswd.lo passwd_common.lo       -L -R -laprutil-1 -ldb-5.3 -lexpat

    make: *** [/httpd-2.4.58/build/rules.mk:75: all-recursive] Error 1

 

Tried Building older version and get the same error and did not find anything when searching for similar errors.

 

Any help on what this could be?

 

Thanks
