ERROR: Compile Apache 2.0.50 on Solaris 8

Hey all -
I've been given the task to customize Apache on a Solaris 5.8 (sparc
8) system. The problem is that I must put it in my HOME, rather than
/usr/local/apache2. Ok, I'm cool with that and apache2 docs are cool
with that.

I'll be adding in PHP and mod_perl, MySQL has already been installed
with a binary.

It configures. Here's what my configure script looks like:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/apache2 --with-mpm=prefork
--enable-mods-shared=most

I do a make and then a make install and things show up where they
should. I want to test my build so I do this:
$HOME/apache2/bin/httpd -l
ld.so.1: ./httpd: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed

My gcc -v gives me this:
Reading specs from /usr/pubsw/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.1/specs
Configured with: ../../gcc-3.3.1/configure --datadir=${prefix}/lib
--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib --sharedstatedir=${prefix}/lib
--prefix=/usr/pubsw --enable-threads --disable-multilib --with-gnu-as
--with-as=/usr/pubsw/bin/as --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/pubsw/bin/ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.1

Any suggestions? Hints?

thanks,
erin

Solution 1:

Use a symlink

ln -s /usr/pubsw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib

but check whether the path I suggested to libgcc_s.so.1 is the correct
one.

Since you are building apache to run under your home directory, I assume
that solution 1 is not available to you. That leads to

Solution 2:

(a) quick and dirty fix. Set

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pubsw/lib

in your environment, before starting apache.

(b) (better) edit bin/envvars (as generated in your apache
build), so that it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH . Then, if
you start apache in the usual manner (with apachectl) you
shoule be fine.

(c) (best) . Recompile. But before compiling, set

LD_OPTIONS="-R/usr/pubsw/lib"

in your environment.

Alas no symlinks are allowed! But you guessed that one. So I went on
to the next Solution.

Just read about the evils of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and how I shouldn't use
it. I did set it up and it worked like a charm but apache needs it in
it's envvar to run. so I tried (c).

Ok, I gotta recompile anyway so I tried this:
LD_OPTIONS="-R$HOME/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/pubsw/lib
-L$HOME/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/pubsw/lib" in my Configure statement.
It compiled but a httpd -l and it gave me this error if the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't set:
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libgdbm.so.3: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed

libgdbm.so.3 is in $HOME/lib.

So I added this (I know grasping at straws!):
LD_OPTIONS="-R$HOME/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/pubsw/lib
-L$HOME/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/pubsw/lib" AND the following:
--with-lgcc_s=/opt/local/lib --with-gdbm=$HOME/lib

then (w/o the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set) I did this: httpd -l and got this:
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libgdbm.so.3: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed

Still isn't working w/o the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I guess I have no choice
and must use it. sigh.

Actually I'm not sure I need libgdbm?? Do I?

thanks,
erin

Read the man pages on "ld" and "ldd".
Export a suitable LD_RUN_PATH at compile time so that
the resultant binaries can find shared libs that arent
in /usr/lib.
