2.2.1 Running ./configure
</H2>
<P>
The <b class="program">./configure</b> script will analyze your environment and create custom
Makefiles particular to your system. Aside from all the standard
autoconf stuff, <b class="program">./configure</b> does the following:
<P>
<UL>
<LI><a name="l2h-4"> </a> Finds out whether a program called <b class="program">apxs</b> is available. This
program is part of the standard Apache distribution, and is necessary
for DSO compilation. If apxs cannot be found in your <a class="envvar" name="l2h-5">PATH</a> or in
<span class="file">/usr/local/apache/bin</span>, DSO compilation will not be available.
<P>
You can manually specify the location of apxs by using the
<b class="programopt">--with-apxs</b> option, e.g.:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
</pre></dl>
<P>
It is recommended that you specify this option.
<P>
</LI>
<LI><a name="l2h-6"> </a> Checks your Python version and attempts to figure out where
<b class="program">libpython</b> is by looking at various parameters compiled into
your Python binary. By default, it will use the <b class="program">python</b>
program found in your <a class="envvar" name="l2h-7">PATH</a>.
<P>
<a name="l2h-8"> </a>If the fist Python
binary in the path is not suitable or not the one desired for
mod_python, you can specify an alternative location with the
<b class="programopt">--with-python</b> options, e.g:
<P>
<dl><dd><pre class="verbatim">
$ ./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.2
</pre></dl>
<P>
</LI>
</UL>
