Fixed it, it was a stupid space after one of the '\' characters. You would have thought that they'd be able to strip whitespaces off the end of lines in this day and age. *sigh* -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Stuart Stephen Sent: 07 November 2003 16:55 To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Compiling apache from a script file. Hi all, I wish to compile and install a list of things in a script file. I've written a small function to install the apache server (2.0.48) and for some reason this fails, however. If I try and run this command in the shell it runs fine? Why does it not work in the script, yet work from the shell? Thanks Stuart Stephen The shell script snippet is below: --- snippet of installserver.sh --- installapache() { cd /root/httpd-2.0.48 pwd # configure the server setup. ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \ --enable-modules=all \ --enable-ssl \ --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl \ --enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL \ --enable-rule=SSL_VENDOR \ --enable-shared=ssl \ --with-mm=/root/mm-1.3.0 \ --enable-jni \ --enable-so } --- end of snippet --- The output I get when running the script is: --- start of script output --- /root/httpd-2.0.48 configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target configure: WARNING: invalid host type: checking for chosen layout... Apache checking for working mkdir -p... yes checking build system type... config.sub: missing argument Try `config.sub --help' for more information. configure: error: /bin/sh build/config.sub failed /root/scripts/t2ut.install: --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl: No such file or directory waiting 3 seconds. --- end of script output -- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
