install the Apache Request Library

alexism has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi, i'd like to install the libapreq (Generic Apache Request Library) but when i make it (make), it tells me there is syntax error on the apache_request.h file (line 38). i think this because of the bad configuration of mod_perl. in the readme of libapreq, it says :

IMPORTANT NOTE: To install the Perl modules, your mod_perl installatio
+n
MUST includes support for Apache::Table.  This means that mod_perl sho
+uld
be built using the EVERYTHING=1, or at minimum PERL_TABLE_API=1.  If y
+ou
see errors like this (during compilation of libapreq)

        Error: 'Apache::Table' not in typemap in Request.xs,

your mod_perl must be rebuilt to include Apache::Table support.

There are two versions of mod_perl.. v1.* for Apache 1.3 and v1.9* (will be v2) for Apache2. Sounds like you've tried to install the wrong version of mod_perl for the Apache you are using. cheers, J	[reply]
