That would certainly save you a bunch of time and effort. Because gcc is a large software project and not completely trivial to build from scratch. And then apache is another large software project and again not completely trivial to build from scratch. Doing both back to back is a double hit of building the tools to build the tools. Getting a precompiled binary, even if not completely optimal, may still be best for you. > I don't even know if installing gcc will solve my Apache > installation problem (which is what I'm mainly interested in). Yep. You need the milling machine to build the lathe to make the crankshaft but what you really needed was simply the crankshaft. > I do have a prebuilt Apache upgrade that was installed on another HP-UX > 10.20 system.

Don't forget that symlinks may be able to adapt one location from one place to another. This is not really an apache forum. But possibly you could put symlinks in the filesystem to make the new installation look like the old installation. You have to be careful about the httpd.conf file because it will specify dynamic libraries to load at program start. It is usually best to keep the httpd.conf file with the server it matches, specifically for the shared library configuration, and instead make the modifications that you need to make to the given file. I don't think I said that very well but hopefully you know what I meant anyway. > Again, thank you for your assistance on this.
