I strongly suggest to download -deps.tar.bz2 http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache23 If you unpack these deps in the same directory as the httpd-2.3.8.tar.bz2, they will end up in httpd-2.3.8/src-lib/apr* Then configure with: > While installing Apache as it is, i.e. using ./configure > --with-included-apr, I get the following error - > configuring package in xml/expat now > checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: > line 2417: syntax error near unexpected token `lt_decl_varnames,' > /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: > line 2417: `lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , ,' > configure failed for xml/expat > configure failed for srclib/apr-util > > > The line mentioned in the error is - > > lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , , > lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [libtool_name], > [m4_ifval([], [], [SHELL])]) > lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [value], [1]) > m4_ifval([Shell to use when invoking shell scripts], > [lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [description], [Shell > to > use when invoking shell scripts])]) > lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], > [tagged?], [m4_ifval([], [yes], [no])])) > > > Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks in advnace! Do you have all the necessary tools installed, as mentioned in the installation documentation? m4, libtool, autoconf, automake Do you have all the basic dependencies installed? For expat in Ubuntu this would be libexpat1-dev, as Ubuntu doesn't install headerfiles by default. etc.. i -- Igor GaliÄ Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.galic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx URL: http://brainsware.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
