[mp2][configure/make]

1. Problem Description:
=20
I cannot compile mod_perl for Apache2. There seem to be two issues =
with the Configure.PL/make-process. Configure runs through without an =
error but with a warning that header files have been found in an =
unexpected directory (see warning message below) although I have =
supplied the MP_AP_PREFIX specifying the correct path (see 2.) ):

************* WARNING *************

Apache headers found in unexpected location: ``/usr/local/include'', =
suggestions:
*) Remove via ``rpm -e apache''
*) Remove by hand
*) Complain to your os vendor about their poor layout choice
*) Complain to your sysadmin about their poor layout choice


************* WARNING *************


Furthermore, make stops with the following error:

You need to use a perl binary that has been compiled with -fPIC (there
is a current thread on the list regarding this issue). I have compiled
5.8.8 with -fPIC and was able to build mod_perl successfully repeatedly
on x86_64. The exact commands aren't in my shell history any more, but
all of the generated Makefiles have

CCFLAGS = -fPIC

in them. I'll try to build later this week and post the exact process I
used back to the list.

AW: [mp2][configure/make]

Thank you very much for that info.

I configured it with: ./Configure -de -Accflags=3D'-fPIC' =
-Dprefix=3D/path/to/perl

as Dan Axtell sugfgested.

Worked perfectly. Thanks alot!
