trouble building mod_jserv with apxs

Hello

I have a pc with RH 7.1. I've installed Apache 1.3 on it and Tomcat 3.2.2 as well. I need to build the web adapter using mod_jserv.c which is included with the source release of Tomcat. I'm getting an error when trying to build it with apxs. Here is what I get. Any help would be appreciated.

apxs -c -o mod_jserv.so *.c from jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2-src/src/native/apache/jserv/

There are way too many dependencies you must install prior to compile mod_jserv.so or Tomcat. We also have no clue what was your configure options. Another thing, compiling Apache with a prefix or /usr/local/apache is asking for troubles. /usr/local/apache is absolutely non-standard.
Anyhow, you would get better help if you post this to Java Servlets & JSP forum plus all the details I just mentioned above.

I posted this here because apxs is part of Apache. I've been working with Linux, apache and other assorted apps for all of 2 weeks now. Crash course if you will.

The reason I installed apache to /usr/local/apache is I had it previously installed as part of Oracle 8i. when I tried to run apxs it kept looking for my httpd.conf file at that location. It was also given as an example in the install guide. It's never too late to intall it somewhere else!

I'll mirror my post over in the Java Servlets & JSP forum. I'm not sure what configuration options I would include. Any suggestions would be welcome.

One last question, where do you suggest I install apache if /usr/local/apache is looking for trouble?

thanks again

I am not saying your message is off-topic here, but your message definitely fits best in Java Servlets & JSP forum. If Java Servlets & JSP forum doesn't exist, this forum would be best.

>> It's never too late to intall it somewhere else!

Then reinstall it.

No, don't cross-post under any circumstance. Everyone hates it. Devshed hates it too.

I disscussed this all over the web. You can check linuxnewbie.org about it too. As for Devshed here, do a search with keyword standard under my username in this forum. Then decide if you should use /usr/local as the prefix.
