We are getting below error while running the make command to build Apache files. We are carrying out the installation on AIX 6.1 OS. The installation is completed upto the configuration step as per the procedure given in the below link: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html

We have already installed apr-1.4.6, apr-util-1.4.1 and pcre-8.30. While running the make command we are getting below error :-

Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

We have also installed the below version GCC compiler for AIX 6.1:-

libgcc-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
libstdcplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
libstdcplusplus-devel-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
gcc-cplusplus-4.2.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Kindly suggest on urgent basis as to what is missing here that is causing the error.

Ram

Do you also have the pcre devel package installed ?

P.S. Please post open source packages and yum related question/queries/suggestion at AIX open source forum for more visibility

Thanks,

Can you specify the which rpm and pcre devel package needs to be installed to resolved the httpd 2.4.2 issue.

You can download and installed the pcre & pcre-devel listed in our AIX toolbox site http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html#P

I would also suggest to have a look at our latest SPEC file https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/SPECS/httpd-2.4.27-1.spec

It is always better to try the latest version which would have CVE fixes.

Thanks,

Please check the config.log file where it will show you exact error.

Kindly suggest on above issue.

As mentioned earlier, please look into the config.log with the eyes wide open. From the info you pasted, it shows the below 

" checking for gcc... gcc
  checking whether the C compiler works... no"

Something wrong with CC or CFLAGS variables. When somebody try building their own stuff, they should have the ability to resolve these simple issues.

Hi AyappanP,

Thanks for your information.

We have checked in many sites to configure the Apache http on the AIX OS. But we didn't find any useful stuff...

So we have raised our concern in IBM forum so that AIX experts may resolve our issue.

We never worked on the AIX libraries and didn't have much knowledge at CC or CFLAGS variables level.

Thanks,

Ram

You can very well use our prebuilt httpd rpms in AIX Toolbox as mentioned by @sangameshm b2e92779-2458-43ca-987f-f5904c716f4b (in the first reply).​

Yes, we wanted to configure apache httpd on AIX box. 

As per @sangameshm  suggestion we have installed the rpm and pcre devel package, But still getting the above error. Please suggest.

Ram

Understand the difference between installing, configuring http server versus "running the configure script which is part of the package building process". 

Please understand the basics before trying to post any further questions.
