Installing Apache

I am trying to install Apache-2.2.14 to a Mandriva Linux system.

(I have previously installed Apache to Mandriva Linux 2008 with no problems)

I am following instruction contained in Getting Started with Apache 2.0

After unzipping, making the directory and writing the files I run

./configure --prefix=/usr.... etc.

This returns all the usual messages plus

srclib/apr no acceptable c compiler found in $path
Configure failed for srclib/apr

Presumably there is some fault in this file because on the last installation I did not install a C compiler.

Of course the make command then fails with no targets specified.

Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks if you have read this far and happy 2010

 

install g++ and build-essential. then try to compile the apache and make it to install

 

try

urpmi apache apache-mod_suexec apache-mod_ssl apache-mod_php apache-mod_ruby apache-mod_python

Thanks for your response re compiling Apache
I have looked through the web site for g++ and it appears that I need a compiler to compile the download. If you have a moment could you just let me know if this is complete rubbish?

 

try installing this http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html instead
