I fixed the problems using a later version of GCC (3.2.3) but now I'm stuck with a different issue. The configuration get's a long way without any problems untill it stops with the following error:

...
checking whether to enable mod_access... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_auth... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_auth_anon... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_auth_dbm... shared (all)
checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... checking dependencies
You need APR random support to use mod_auth_digest.
Look at APR configure options --with-egd and --with-devrandom.
checking whether to enable mod_auth_digest... configure: error: mod_auth_digest has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures

Isn't the APR stuff supposed to be included in the httpd source?
What can be done to fix this problem?

For the record: I'm trying to compile Apache 2.0.55.

Yours,

Age Bosma

Do you have the Solaris 8 /dev/random patch (112438-02)? It used to
compile fine without this but it wouldn't start if you included
mod_auth_digest. Maybe they changed that so it stops you during the
configure.
