Minimum Requirements for Apache 2

With Apache 2, the load balancer plug-in requires:

• openssl-0.9.8b (source)

• httpd-2.0.49 (source)

• gcc-3.3-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC).

• gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)

• The preinstalled gcc (for Solaris 10)

• flex-2.5.4a-sol9-sparc-local packages (for Solaris 9 SPARC)

• flex-2.5.4a-sol9-intel-local packages (for Solaris 9 x86)

• The preinstalled flex (for Solaris 10)

The software sources are available at http://www.sunfreeware.com

In addition, before compiling Apache:

• On the Linux platform, install Sun Java System Application Server on the same machine.

• On the Solaris 9 operating system, use pkgadd to install gcc and flex. Note that pkgadd requires root access.

• On the Solaris 9 operating system, ensure that gcc version 3.3 and make are in the PATH, and flex is installed.

• On the Solaris 10 operating system, before running make for OpenSSL, run mkheaders, located in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris SPARC or /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.9/3.3/install-tools on Solaris x86.

• If you are using gcc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1, the version must be later than gcc 3.0.

To use a C compiler other than gcc, set the path of the C compiler and make utility in the PATH environment variable.
