Help compiling apache

[erinspice]

Hi! I'm running FC7 on my PC and I'm trying to install apache. When I try to use yum (Fedora's package manager) to install it, apache segfaults, so I've resigned myself to install it from source.  However, I'm getting this error during compilation:

 

Making all in support

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/erin/downloads/httpd-2.2.6/support'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/erin/downloads/httpd-2.2.6/support'

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!  I found some references to this error on Google, but couldn't find a solution that applied in my case.

I know this isn't the advice you're after, but if I had a segfault doing a default Apache install I wouldn't use that distro (unless the devs had announced that it is a bug and will be fixed). 

 

I take it that because you're only at the point of installing Apache you haven't got very far.  Try Debain or if you're not comfortable try Ubuntu Server (which has a LAMP server install option).
