[users@httpd] Problems loading mod_rewrite in Apache 1.3

[Peter Rose <pe...@cyberscreen.com>]

I am running  Apache 1.3.29 with all modules loading as DSO's.
I recently decided to use mod_rewrite and compiled the module from the 
source tarball code, then made the usual entries in httpd.conf.
However, on restarting the server, I get this error:


Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_rewrite.so into server:
/usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_rewrite.so: undefined symbol: dbm_fetch

It seems this is quite a common problem, but I haven't found a solution 
that works for me yet.

I tried this one at http://www.vttoth.com/rewrite.htm but still get the 
same error.

I have gdbm 1.8.3 on my system, which I believe is a good enough version, 
but I'm open to correction.

Is there a definitive solution to this?

Thanks!

Yeah, you've built it wrong. It can't find whatever lib holds dbm_fetch
at runtime. an 'ldd /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_rewrite.so' might tell
you what's missing, then you need to tell the dynamic loader where the
library is  (but that's platform specific).
