FreeBSD Question
 

I got a problem compiling apache with an external modul. configure brings an error that it can't find necessary files.

After some research the solution seems to be to add a path to the needed files into etc/ld.so.conf .

However I cannot find that file on my FreeBSD 4.9 box. Is the above file only part of a linux distribution or can I simply create that file?

Or is there another way in FreeBSD to set the lib paths?

I believe it is from the linux_compat stuff which isnt installed by default.

to install the linux compat stuff do

cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-8;make;make install

However, i doubt that is your problem... can you paste the compile errors?

You might also want to check in /usr/compat/linux/etc for the conf file :)

cofigure runs fine and the problem is occuring during make: here is the output:

I might just need to copy the files into the extras folder besides the GeoIP.c I already have copied there.
