This fails to complie because in the apache/src/modules/php4

libphp4.a is named incorrectly.  It is named libmodphp4.a

If you change the name it will finish the compile.



Thanks

Too less information. Which distribution? Which configure line? What's the exact error output (copy & paste)?

Sorry I cant post the error message since I fixed it and complied PHP4 fully. 

Version is 4.1.1 just downloaded it today
Sever is Apache 1.3.20 for Linux

If you try and complie Apache for php with this command
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
13. 

you will get an error that libphp4.a can not be found.

This is due to libphp4.a being named libmodphp4.a
after you have did a make install on php only.

I dotn know if this confuses people but if you follow the install straight php.net you will notice the error.

In linux you must go to the /apache_1.3.X/src/modules/php4
and you will find the libmodphp4.a file change the name and it should finish the complie

I wish this was bogus but  following the config file in the install I get  the error
 
configure Error: invalid option "--active-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

But what do i know.  It only works for me when I change the file name.

Has anyone eles did this to make it complie. 
I may be the only one.
