I have a web app developed with web.py using python 2.7.5.
I need to deploy it on a server running Scientific Linux 6.5. It comes with python 2.6.6 and the system requires this version, so I had to install python 2.7.5 in parallel.
What I need to do is to install mod_wsgi that uses python 2.7.5. I couldn't find a pre-compiled package, so I attempted to build one from source. I downloaded the source of mod_wsgi-3.4.
I ran configure with:
./configure --with-python=/home/mapto/Python-2.7.5/python
and got response:
checking for apxs2... no
checking for apxs... /usr/sbin/apxs
checking Apache version... 2.2.15
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
When I run make it fails with:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a(abstract.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libpython2.7.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
.
make: * [mod_wsgi.la] Error 1
How can I sort out this problem? Would it help installing apxs2? If so, how can I do that? (apparently when I executed "yum install httpd-devel" it installed apxs, not apxs2)
