I am not sure if you actually have the .libs/libaprutil-1.so file if you do, and libmysqlclient_r is not being linked to, then that means that the buildconf failed to see the mysql file.. make sure it is there... ls -l $HP_SRC/srclib/apr-util/dbd/apr_dbd_mysql.c If not, then get it... ---------- Make sure that you have any custom library directories mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf #/etc.so.conf is like this on my box /opt/lib /opt/lib/mysql /opt/httpd/apr/lib #And use ldconfig -v to refresh it.. ----------- Alternatively it maybe that your mysql install location is not being found. This is the method i used for building mysql from source... tar -xzf mysql-5.0.24a.tar.gz cd mysql make clean CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/opt --with-charset=utf8 --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-threads=posix --with-ncurses make all make install su ldconfig -v ------------ Beyond that - I am not sure!! -b |
