Problems installing 'libapreq2-2.04_03-dev

RH Sekaly's picture
Submitted by RH Sekaly (not verified) on Tue, 06/21/2005 - 17:08.

I am trying to install & configure using Mandrake Linux 10.1
I have installed the following apps:
Apache 2.0.50 (Mandrake Linux/7.2.101mdk)
mod_perl 1.99_16
Perl v5.8.5
mod_ssl 2.0.50
OpenSSL 0.9.7d
PHP 4.3.8

When I run the command "perl Makefile.PL", everything works well until the end. The last few lines of the out are as follows:

Checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
./configure: line 1: apsx command not found
build/version_check.pl failed: no version_string found in ''.
configure: error: Bad apache2 version

Can anyone help??

I followed the directions in the article but i get a 500 error from apache when executing the http://webserver/Club/

below is the dump from /var/log/httpd/error_log
I googled this error and cant figure out whats wrong.

failed to resolve handler `ClubDB': Can't locate Apache/Request.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl . /etc/httpd/ /etc/httpd/lib/perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Apache/MVC.pm line 22.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 5) line 3.\n\t...propagated at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/base.pm line 85.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ClubDB.pm line 5.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3.\n

1. do:

install Bundle::Maypole

2. The article totally glosses over setting up mod_perl lib directories. It oddly states to drop the ClubDB.pm into /etc/httpd/lib/perl directory, even though it never talks about how to set it up. So, (assuming redhat, here), make sure your /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf reads something like:

PerlSetEnv Perl5LIB /etc/httpd/lib/perl

...Agree,

Author has not provided any significant information about server side settings, also I find it article "agressivly redhat friendly".

Small shell for include testing:
$ cat testinc.pl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print join "\n", @INC

If debian user try installing "libapache-mod-perl-doc" for more info about CGI/mod_perl stuff portings.

Hope it helps...

RedHat/Fedora Friendly

An editorial decision was made to target one specific distribution (see my reply to another comment at the bottom of the actual article for the reasons behind this). As I have only so much time, I went with what I knew which was Fedora/RedHat. I have installed Maypole on RedHat 9 and Fedora 3 - granted, it takes a while to get everything set-up but, once it is, it works well. The Soccer Club example system will work on Maypole if Maypole is installed correctly. If Maypole has trouble installing, it's really just a matter of keeping at it until it does. There's a load of help on the Maypole mailing-list archive.

As there appears to be no link to the actual source code, here it is (from my own web-site) which should save some people some time.

Hope this helps.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
