Running CentOS 5.3 x86_64, and Apache httpd-2.2.9, which is successfully compiled. I do a ./configure \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-httpd-src=/home/sparks/install/httpd-2.2.9 I'll add that the apxs path is valid. There's an -fPIC error which is also curious.... Anyway, after the configure, I then do a make. It errors out. The last few lines of output are: /usr/local/apache2/build/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -o mod_security2.la -L/home/sparks/install/httpd-2.2.9/srclib/pcre -L/usr/local/apache2/lib -lpcre -lxml2 -lz -lm -rpath /usr/local/apache2/modules -module -avoid-version msc_release.lo msc_lua.lo acmp.lo msc_geo.lo pdf_protect.lo msc_reqbody.lo persist_dbm.lo msc_pcre.lo msc_util.lo msc_parsers.lo modsecurity.lo msc_multipart.lo msc_xml.lo msc_logging.lo re_variables.lo re_tfns.lo re_actions.lo re_operators.lo re.lo apache2_util.lo apache2_io.lo apache2_config.lo mod_security2.lo /usr/bin/ld: /home/sparks/install/httpd-2.2.9/srclib/pcre/.libs/libpcre.a(maketables.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /home/sparks/install/httpd-2.2.9/srclib/pcre/.libs/libpcre.a(maketables.o): could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536 === Al --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
