Krist, Thanks for your quick answer. I re-unpacked the Apache HTTP 2.0.61 software in my account without using 'sudo'. Then I tried 'configure' and 'make' commands without using sudo. This time it seemed that I successfully passed these two stages as I only found a (minor) warning during 'make' stage as listed below: Libtool: link: warning: 'version-info' is ignored for programs Now should I use or not use sudo to install Apache?

Which is odd if you downloaded and unpacked it yourself. Unless you used sudo for that too... Also, are you using the gcc that came with solaris (in /usr/sfw) or one that was installed somewhere else? I've compiled apache on solaris 10 quite a few times, using the gcc that was installed in /usr/sfw First I needed to fix some headers (this needs to be done as root) cd /usr/sfw/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.3.2/install-tools ./mkheaders I only needed to do that once, after that I just downloaded the most recent source and unpacked it. (for this you don't need to be root) unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset OPENWIN_HOME #just to make sure export CC=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc ./configure (add any options you want) /usr/sfw/bin/gmake -j and finally, as root: /usr/sfw/bin/gmake install Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
