Unfortunately I've got no experience with compiling software at all so I'm hoping you guys can help me out a bit, assuming this is the right place to ask for this. > > > I'm running Solaris 8 (UltraSparc 5) and to make thing even worse...this is basically the first time I ever touched a Solrais system :-D > > > > > > When running the configuration (configure --prefix=/work/training/dg432/servsoft/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all) I get presented with a series of errors all in the lines of: > > > Do you have the Solaris compiler utilities (ar, cpp, ...) in your command > > search path (/usr/ccs/bin)? > > > > checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... checking dependencies > You need APR random support to use mod_auth_digest. > Look at APR configure options --with-egd and --with-devrandom. > checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... configure: error: mod_auth_digest has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures > > Isn't the APR stuff supposed to be included in the httpd source? > What can be done to fix this problem?
