We are installing apache 2.4.X , tried installing

  • 2.4.16
  • 2.4.25
  • 2.4.29

in AIX 7.1 (7100-05-01-1731).

We are facing below issue while we are executing make install for httpd-apache.

We have successfully installed

  • apr (apr-1.5.2)
  • apr util (apr-util-1.5.4)
  • pcre (pcre-8.33).

Flags that were used are :

export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CC="xlc_r -q64"
export lt_cv_path_NM="/usr/bin/nm -B -X64"
export AR="ar -X64"

Error Stacktrace: we are facing issue that says that mod_authn_file.so cannot be created due to some error.

 rm -f /home/u980868/apache/kiran/httpd-kiran/modules/mod_authn_file.so

Have you successfully compiled apr-1.6.3 and apr-util-1.6.1 before httpd-2.4.29? These three have to use the same layout. – Lorinczy Zsigmond
yes we have. we are able to install them properly without any errors. – Anurag Shetty
So you have problems with make install. Hopefully you saved the logs of make all which creates files modules/aaa/mod_authn_file.la and modules/aaa/.libs/mod_authn_file.so. If you don't have these files, you might have had problems in make all too. PS: Hopefully you used linker-flag -brtl at every step.

If the apache compilation with "make" goes well and you are getting error when you run "make install" the problem may be related to the lack of "coreutils". You can download it for free from http://gnome.bullfreeware.com and install it via "rpm -ivh coreutils-8.25-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm". Then, first of running "make install" you need to

export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH

It worked in my case.
