Can not Install Apache 2.2.23 with OpenSLL on RHEL 6.3 64bit

[sanjivus]

I am not able to install Apache 2.2.23 with OpenSLL on RHEL 6.3 64bit.


I downloaded and installed openssl-1.0.1c using the following command and it gets installed successfully.

./config
make
make test
make install

Then I tried installing apache using the following command:

First Try.

/configure \
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-modules="all" \
--enable-mods-shared="most" \

I am getting the following error during the configure...
configure: error: ... Error, SSL/TLS libraries were missing or unusable

Second Try.

export LDFLAGS=-ldl
/configure \
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-modules="all" \
--enable-mods-shared="most" \

configure goes through and I get the following error during the make command:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a(s2_srvr.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Please help.

When you run ./configure, by default the installation directory is /usr/local and your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not setup to look there. You need to run configure like this (before building and installing): ./configure --prefix=/usr
Then run make and make install.

Appreciate your response. I do not want to install apache in /usr directory. I would like to install it in a /usr/local/apache2 directory which is a default location. I also tried mentioning --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 but it did not help.

How can i check what is the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and secondly, how to inform apache isntallation process about it?

Come one Apache Gurus....!!! Anyone ...???

You need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well as other environment variables in order for your installation to work. The Apache documentation should help with this.
