Apache installl

[chensley]

I'm running (Slackware) Linux 8.2 with kernel 2.4.18.

I tried to install apache today, with moderate success. The install went OK, however, when I start apache it informs me that the file libdb-3.2.so is too small.

I got the libdb-3.2.so from a package on the red hat archives and converted it from rpm to tgz per the instructions in my manual.

I installed the package, and all went ok, I guess, but apache still won't start.

the libdb-3.2.so is 22 bytes long which seems a little short for a library.

Any ideas?

I'd say your conversion from .rpm to .tgz went sour somewhere. You may be better off looking for the source code for libdb, and compile it from there.

Cheers :)
