Thanks for the tip. I was able to do it via the command line (vs editing files) with:

apxs -c -Wl,”-lz” mod_deflate.c

you have to go to “/httpd-2.x.y/modules/filters” and then run “bin/apxs -c mod_deflate.c” .. after this you can find the mod_deflate.so in .libs folder

Everything looks kosher here?

-bash-3.00$ ./apachectl -t -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Syntax error on line 1117 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:

Argh

Tried to use apxs as described in the blog, but getting this when trying to LoadModule mod_deflate:

-bash-3.00$ ./apachectl -t -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/test.conf
Syntax error on line 1119 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/test.conf:
Can’t locate API module structure `mod_deflate’ in file /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_deflate.so: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: mod_deflate: can’t find symbol

any idea?

I get the same burp on crc32 when building entire Apache –with–deflate. Any idea how to hack a fix for that?

-bash-3.00$ ./apachectl -t -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Syntax error on line 1117 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_deflate.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_deflate.so: symbol crc32: referenced symbol not found
