apache & mod_fastcgi on Solaris 9

Trying to install an application (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/req_track_1.html).
Held up at the last but one step from the bottom of the document.

# cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.0

# pwd
/opt/home/srao/mod_fastcgi-2.4.0


# /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -o mod_fastcgi.so \
> -c *.c /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a \
> -n fastcgi mod_fastcgi.so

apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=16777215

Tried with google for some clues and still looking for the solution.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'd check your Apache install. It looks like apxs is returning -1 from its run (16777215 is also -1 for a 24 bit number).

I find that sometimes running a truss can help you see what is happening. But not always - sometimes it is too much of nothing.
