help with building mod-perl
hello debian-users, it's good to be here!
i could use some help getting mod-perl working.
i've just subscribed to this list, so i am aware only of its
archived state only up to '18:22 GMT Tue Sep 07'; apologies if
somebody has made a recent inquiry into this.
i'm using 'http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable' as my apt source
and have encountered the following 'dependency/conflict' problem in dselect:
libapache-mod-perl depends on apache-common (<< 1 .3.7-0)
i want to get mod-perl working, so i reasoned perhaps the best thing
to do would be to build it myself.
i installed the apache-dev package and downloaded
mod_perl-1.21.tar.gz (from http://perl.apache.org/)
gleaning what i can from the description of what comes with apache-dev
and given that i already .debs for apache and apache-common installed,
i'm guessing the best thing to do is use apxs to build it.
so i tried the following:
perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1
which gives me a warning:
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldbm
then, upon doing a make, i get the fatal error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lgdbm: No such file or directory
what am i missing? i tried installing libgdbmg1, libmldbm-perl, even
libgdbmg1
thank you for any help,
/iain lamb
p.s. also, can somebody tell me what the apaci executable in
/usr/doc/apache-dev is for and when / if / how to use it?
