[users@httpd] Compiling ModSecurity on CentOS 5.3 x86_64

[Al Sparks <da...@yahoo.com>]

Running CentOS 5.3 x86_64, and Apache httpd-2.2.9, which is successfully compiled.

I do a 

 ./configure \
    --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
    --with-httpd-src=/home/sparks/install/httpd-2.2.9

I'll add that the apxs path is valid.  There's an -fPIC error which is also curious....

Anyway, after the configure, I then do a make.

It errors out.  The last few lines of output are:

You'll probably get more help over at

Apache web server and the modules that come with it.
