Try adding --enable-shared=no and --enable-static=yes to your httpd configure line. As you can see when you trawl the configure output, APR is still built with shared libraries. Also, you'll want httpd itself to be statically linked against the gcc stuff. Enabling a module as static only applies to that module.
I tried adding those options but still get the same error; "could not find an LDAP library".
I don't know why you're not finding ldap. Do you have a library of the name libldap.a (or whatever suffix AIX uses, I forget) in that / svn/lib directory? I have no idea why configure wouldn't find it there.
Yes, libldap.a exists there.
In a broader sense, you're not really interested in having LDAP static, APR static or the Apache modules static: you just want to pick up that gcc runtime, right? Have you tried moving the shared libraries that come with gcc out of the way? So libtool will only find the static one to link against?
I don't have root access on this box, so I can't modify the GCC installation.
I don't suppose using IBM's C compiler is an option?
If someone could tell me they've compiled with IBM's compiler and knows that I could run it on another box without installing the compiler, then I would be interested in going down that path. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
