source install vs rpm
Hi guys
I installed apache 2 via the source by unzipping and then following the
instructions (doing the './configure', 'make', and 'make install').
I was just wondering what's the difference between installing from source
and installing from rpm. WHen i do an 'rpm -ivh apache-2.0.39-0.2.i386.rpm'
i get an error:
error: failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/getgid is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
/bin/id is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
rc-scripts is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
apr is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
db4 is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
libapr.so.0 is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
libcrypto.so.0.9.6.1 is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
libdb-4.0.so is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
libssl.so.0.9.6.1 is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
Is there any reason why the source install went smoothly and the rmp install
didn't?
Thanks
Desmond

Re: source install vs rpm
Posted by Jeff Beard <je...@cyberxape.com>.
When the rpm is built, it used code contained in
various libraries. It is usually version dependant.
I think that the rpm you are installing was built
using other versions of the files listed under
"failed dependancies". rpm also explicitly checks
the dependancies, a bonus feature of rpm.
The source build worked because the configure script
looks for the libraries it needs that are installed
on your system and builds against them. It's custom
for your system. Which is a bonus feature of building
from source.
