    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm attaching my config.log


  • 2.  Have you looked at this AIX Wiki page for hints on building Apache for AIX?

    OK this page was for Apache 2.2.2 but it should still work - shouldn't it?

    Also which compiler are you using?
    GNC C should be easy to compile with but the code a little slower than the full AIX C Compiler.

    Thanks for your reply. Funny, I've been trying for a week to install GNU (and it's prerequisites) and did not know until your reply of the 'rpm' way. I "cleaned" what I had been trying to install and then installed it in a flash using the 'rpm' command. Unbelievably easy.

    I ran the ./configure for Apache (./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-224 --enable-so --enable-headers) and received the following errors refering to the pthread.h:
    Checking for Threads...
    checking pthread.h usability... no
    checking pthread.h presence... yes
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: present but cannot be compiled
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: see the Autoconf documentation
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
    configure: WARNING: pthread.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
    configure: WARNING: ##
    ##
    configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ##
    configure: WARNING: ##
    ##
    checking for pthread.h... yes

    Just for fun I ran the 'make' anyway and still received the same errors as before.
    Did you want to take a look at the config.log? Could my attempts to install GNU using ./configure, make, make install somehow messed up this pthread.h?

    Wait a sec. I see I left out the "-C" in the ./configure command. I will try it again...

    Sort of. I got past it by removing the 'enable-headers' portion of the configure command. But why I was getting the error is still a mystery.
    So, from this command.....
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-224 --enable-so --enable-headers

    ...to this command....
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-224 --enable-so

    And the configure went beautifully.
    I hope this helps.
