configure error

Sun Solaris 2.8, php-4.0.3pl1, apache 1.3.14 I've run configure and make for apache then uncompress php type ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.14/src/support/apxs and it fails with this: Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support... no checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... gcc: No input files Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl or you need to pass the absolute path of apxs by using --with-apxs=/absolute/path/to/apxs What am I doing wrong? Steve Elliott
