error in instalation

solaris 9.0 apache_1.3.33

[mikel4u]

I'm installing apache 1.3.33 but when i gunzip the file i get this error

./helpers/test compile:make : not found

i download the file from the apache web page.

thanks in advanced.

Sounds like you don't have a development environment installed. To build from source, you need 'make' (and gcc, and a bunch of other stuff). If you're on win32, you could just download the binaries (if you're running Linux, you could install Apache using whatever packaging system your distribution uses; rpm, apt, what have you).

hi sitz, i'm using solaris 9.0 the thing is that i had apache running, but we have an electric failure so when my server reboot i can't restart apache so i tried to reinstall it and that's the error i get, any guess will help, thanks.

O.S.

What's the precise command you're issuing to gunzip the file?

[mikel4u]

gunzip < apache_1.3.33.tar.gz ¦ tar xvf -

[sitz]

that command by itself isn't going to trigger anything being executed; can you paste in everything from your terminal, starting from the gunzip command up to and including the error? include both the commands you type and the output they return.

[mikel4u]

hi sitz, sorry you were rigth the command it's

./configure (once the gunzip command does his thing)
and the output i get its:

./configure: make: not found

./helpers/Testcompile: make : not found

Aborting!

thanks again

Ah, well. There you are, then. the 'configure' script requires 'make' (and a compiler, and a linker, and other dev-related things) in order to work. Sun installs its own 'make' in /usr/ccs/bin, but if you don't have Sun's compiler installed, you'll need to install one. And really, if you need to install a compiler (gcc), you may as well install GNU make on that host. gcc (and GNU make) binaries for Solaris can be downloaded from (among other places) [sunfreeware.com ]. Not the prettiest interface in the world, but it gets the job done. =)

Just make sure that GNU 'make' and gcc are in your $PATH. =)

[mikel4u]

ok sitz, thanks i'll check first the $PATH cause they should be already installed.

[mikel4u]

ok the path it's fixed but now when i type the ./configure now i get this error:

=======Error Output for Sanity Check=================

============End of error report========================
i don't know what this could be.

thanks one more time, foy you're help.

/usr/ucs/cc: language optional software package not installed ***Error code 1

That error means:

a) you're using 'cc' and not 'gcc', and
b) you've not purchased the Sun Development packages

Two options:

1) purchase them (at the cost of, if memory serves, $800-$1200)
2) install gcc, verify that gcc is in your path, and set the 'CC' variable to 'gcc'. This can be done in the Makefile or by setting a variable:

CC=/path/to/gcc ./configure $configure_args

[mikel4u]

one more time you're rigth, next error i get is when i put the make command i get this:

In file included from http_main.c:597:

and one more time thanks for you're help.

We're starting to get out of my area of expertise a little here, but this smells a little like a dev environment issue; things to check:

1) which 'make' are you using? /usr/ccs/bin/make or the GNU make? 'which make' can tell you.

2) Which version of gcc did you install? for which platform? My box here shows:

bash-2.04$ gcc -dumpversion
2.95.3
bash-2.04$ gcc -dumpmachine
sparc-sun-solaris2.8

[mikel4u]

hi sitz, ok here is the information:
yes i'm using de /usr/ccs/bin/make, the gcc version is: 3.4.2

and the plataform is : sparc-sun-solaris2.9
