mod_gzip under Apache 1.3

Hello,

We have installed mod_gzip 1.3.26 on Apache 1.3.26 under SUN Solaris
9. After that Apache didn't start properly when starting it, it is
giving the error "can't load ../mod_gzip.so into server ld.so.1 wrong
ELF data format ELFDATALSB".
So you have any idea what is the cause of this error

Thanks in advance

At a /guess/, this feels like you've used different compilers (and
libraries) for apache executable and the mod_gzip library.

Did you compile both yourself, or did you install one of them as a
prepackaged executable?

Thanks for your quick response.
In fact, I didn't compile any of them, the Apache server was installed
with the Solaris 9 installation and I downloaded the mod_gzip.so file
added it to the modules library and updated the httpd.conf file.

Also I downloaded the source file but I can't manage to build it,
Please could you give me the instruction how to build it. When trying
to compile it with the apxs apache utility it is giving the error
"apxs:break:command failed with rc=2".

Thanks again

Installed how... You should use apxs.
Where did you get mod_gzip.so?

What does "file mod_gzip.so" tell you?

Wrong file format
