Ok, after a lot of gdb-ing and strugling with the ./configure and apr I got apache2 working. To save other's some time: If you see SIGSEGV just after you start ( you can use "httpd -D ONE_PROCESS", that replaces the old -X and env ), one place to look is srclib/apr/shmem/unix/mm. There is a nice test program, you can run it ( on my system it crashes with all setting except MMFILE ). The trick is to build & configure mm with the good option _before_ compiling apr and httpd. ( if you run a recent linux probably the default will work, I'm still using Redhat 6.2 with libc.2.1.91 ) Costin
