Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow:
1. Perl is not installed
2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)
The output of /usr/sbin/apxs follows:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libexpat.so.5" not found, required by "httpd"
apxs:Error: Sorry, no shared object support for Apache.
apxs:Error: available under your platform. Make sure.
apxs:Error: the Apache module mod_so is compiled into.
apxs:Error: your server binary `/usr/sbin/httpd'..
configure: error: Aborting
*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the configure.php file

----------------------------------
where do i go from here?
i tried moving to next step ( ./build mod_frontpage_ap2 ) but got the same error as above just shorted crying about apxs and yes apxs is installed on the machine.
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i386-freebsd-64int
fbsd 5.4. and php4 is installed with DA when this is done right? Need anything else?
apache 2.0.55 is what i want up.
