Configure fails for mod_perl 1.30 with Apache 1.3.39 Using GCC 4.0.2 perl is v5.6.0 (with 5.6.10 patch) on AIX 5.1

[Sridhar Murthy <mu...@us.ibm.com>]

I am trying to build mod_perl 1.30   for Apache 1.3.39  Using GCC 4.0.2
perl is v5.6.0  (with 5.6.10 patch) on AIX 5.1

I am also attaching the Make.PL output and the complete configure log  for
your perusal.

perl Makefile.PL runs  to completion without problems:


(See attached file: build-mod_perl.1.30.bash-log-20071130-160222)

When I  run Configure for the Apache then i i see the failure message

(See attached file: build-httpd.1.3.39.bash3-log-20071130-160332)

Any help and suggestions offered is gratefully acknowledged.

The configure fails with the following message:

** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration

** Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such as gcc.
