Nick: You have 2 options: 1.- Download libexpat package for solaris 10, install it and try to recompile (anyway, you'll need more libraries). 2.- (easier) Download Apache package for solaris 10 and install it. Both downloads can be done from www.sunfreeware.com, where you'll find all such packages.

Installing it separately might fix the problem. Otherwise you could build apr and apr-util first, and then build httpd using those rather than its bundled copies. Tweak the --with-expat configure option to apr-util if necessary. > 2) If question 1 can't be solved I am wondering where I can just > get hold of a Solaris binary distribution please?

You can get packaged versions from Sun's web stack, and I'm sure there are other alternatives floating around. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
