Problem compiling apache, mysql or php from source code inside a container.

Hey guys,

I'm facing an issue compiling the above stack from a source code inside lxc using centos 6.5 as a domain OS.

 

 

[lxc@lxc1 httpd-2.4.9]$ ./configure --with-included-apr

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

This problem has been detected by me when I replaced my desktop machine with new one and installed a centOS again. This such a problem never happened before using my old machine with the same version of OS and libvirt. Just to be clear, a new selinux policy into a "domain machine" has been created to be able to use the "dbus daemon" to all containers and if I try to complile this stack from source using the "domain os" this problem never happens at all. All "Development tools" is installed to this particular container, in case someone asks me why I get the following error message - "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs"

Any ideas?

I got it sorted out and going to set the topic to "solved". The glibc-headers library were be reinstalled again with selinux set to permissive mode in the "hosting" machine. I'm not sure what happens here, but when the "host" machine is set to selinux enforcing mode a lot of things are failed to the "guest" machine (container). For instance, I'm able to create a new user but I'm failed giving him a new password. I followed The Dan Walsh's Blog   and CentOS Guide as well to create a new selinux policy and everything looks nice but at the end I got the same shit ....anyways....it's a different story..
