Apache install and glibc...Help!

[hgrays]

While trying to install the latest version of Apache on my system (RH 6.2), I get three failed dependencies:
/etc/init.d is needed by apache-1.3.14-4
libdb-3.1.so is needed by apache-1.3.14-4
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by apache-1.3.14-4

A couple things confuse me here (and this could be because of my newbie status). First, with RedHat, I have an /etc/rc.d/init.d directory but no /ect/init.d. Are these the same? Does this mean I have to compile the thing myself to get it to recognize this path? (I'm doing the install using rpm). Second, if I try to upgrade to glibc2.2,
it gives me tons of dependency problems. Numerous programs appear to rely on earlier wervions of glibc and the various libraries.

What are my optins here? I'm stumped as to what to try next. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks

Where did you get these RPMs? (I assume you're trying to install from RPM).

Your best option is not to use RPMs with Apache - it does not work well. Instead, just get the Apache source from www.apache.org (http://www.apache.org) and install it yourself. It will be more likely to work without problems that way (e.g. it will use whatever version of glibc is installed, it won't depend on 2.2).
