I did not receive any responses to this but figured I would post what I found in hopes it may help someone in the future. Sorry for the length. While doing some additional testing I found that if I cut and pasted the line that fails during the make and added -L/scratch/apache/httpd-2.2.8/srclibs/arp/.libs to it the compilation for that program completed successfully. But when I attempted to re-execute the make it failed when trying to build the next program in the support directory. I could not find the logic in the makefiles that built the compile string for the support directory to add the -L option to it. I then tried adding the --with-included-apr to the configure script but the make failed when attempting to compile the support directory with the same error. I then tried compiling the software using the gcc 4.2.2 compiler but experienced the same issue posted by Tamer on 2/27. gcc: +b: No such file or directory gcc: /scratch/apache/httpd-2.2.8/srclib/apr/.libs:/opt/apache2/lib: No such file or directory *** Error exit code 1 After following the solution Tamer provided and updating libtool in the Apache distribution directory to version 1.5.26 I successfully compiled the software using the gcc compiler. On a side note I wanted to publicly thank Tamer for his assistance. I contacted him directly via email out of frustration and he went out of his way to assist a total stranger. Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Martin Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 10:09 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: make failure This is my first attempt to compile the Apache web server so I will try and include all the relevant information and apologize in advance for any rookie mistakes. I have successfully compiled version 2.2.8 on the IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, and HP-UX PA-RISC platforms but have an issue trying to compile it on the HP-UX Itanium platform using the HP ANSI C Compiler. The configure script appears to complete successfully but when I attempt to execute the make I receive the following error. ld: Can't find dependent library "libapr-1.so.2" Fatal error. The libapr-1.so.2 file resides in the /scratch/apache/httpd-2.2.8/srclib/apr/.libs and is linked to the libapr-1.so.2.12 file. Here are the options I passed to the configure script. ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache2 --enable-mods-shared="all cache proxy authn_alias mem_cache file_cache charset_lite dav_lock disk_cache" Any suggestions for resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
