Greetings all. I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3ES server and am attempting to install Apache HTTPD. I used /usr/local/apache2 as my intended install directory, and Config appeared to complete successfully with no errors. Make seems to run successfully for several steps, but then ends with: ==================== make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/apache-httpd/httpd-2.0.54/srclib/apr' /bin/sh /usr/apache-httpd/httpd-2.0.54/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -pthread -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -I./include -I../include -version-info -o libapr-.la -rpath /usr/local/apache2/lib strings/apr_cpystrn.lo strings/apr_fnmatch.lo strings/apr_snprintf.lo strings/apr_strings.lo strings/apr_strnatcmp.lo strings/apr_strtok.lo passwd/apr_getpass.lo tables/apr_hash.lo tables/apr_tables.lo file_io/unix/copy.lo file_io/unix/dir.lo file_io/unix/fileacc.lo file_io/unix/filedup.lo file_io/unix/filepath.lo file_io/unix/filepath_util.lo file_io/unix/filestat.lo file_io/unix/flock.lo file_io/unix/fullrw.lo file_io/unix/mktemp.lo file_io/unix/open.lo file_io/unix/pipe.lo file_io/unix/readwrite.lo file_io/unix/seek.lo file_io/unix/tempdir.lo network_io/unix/inet_ntop.lo network_io/unix/inet_pton.lo network_io/unix/sendrecv.lo network_io/unix/sockaddr.lo network_io/unix/sockets.lo network_io/unix/sockopt.lo threadproc/unix/proc.lo threadproc/unix/procsup.lo threadproc/unix/signals.lo threadproc/unix/thread.lo threadproc/unix/threadpriv.lo misc/unix/charset.lo misc/unix/env.lo misc/unix/errorcodes.lo misc/unix/getopt.lo misc/unix/otherchild.lo misc/unix/rand.lo misc/unix/start.lo misc/unix/version.lo locks/unix/global_mutex.lo locks/unix/proc_mutex.lo locks/unix/thread_cond.lo locks/unix/thread_mutex.lo locks/unix/thread_rwlock.lo time/unix/time.lo time/unix/timestr.lo mmap/unix/common.lo mmap/unix/mmap.lo shmem/unix/shm.lo user/unix/groupinfo.lo user/unix/userinfo.lo memory/unix/apr_pools.lo atomic/unix/apr_atomic.lo poll/unix/pollacc.lo poll/unix/poll.lo support/unix/waitio.lo dso/unix/dso.lo -lrt -lm -lcrypt -lnsl -lpthread -ldl libtool: link: you must specify an output file Try `libtool --help --mode=link' for more information. make[3]: *** [libapr-.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/apache-httpd/httpd-2.0.54/srclib/apr' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/apache-httpd/httpd-2.0.54/srclib/apr' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/apache-httpd/httpd-2.0.54/srclib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ==================== I googled for "apache httpd make libtool: link: you must specify an output file" and found a link to: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-bugs/200501.mbox/%3c20050 1271124.j0RBOte7009638@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%3e I made the change it recommended [edit srclib/apr/Makefile and change the TARGET_LIB line to read TARGET_LIB = libapr-0.la], but this didn't make any difference.

UName information on my server is: Linux SLCGIS-LX.mydomain.tld 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 17 17:52:23 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Any ideas what else to look at to resolve this? I'm still a novice Linux admin, and don't know yet what to look for in all the various config scripts and files that set these things up. Thanks much for your ideas and your time! > Sean --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
