Hi All,

I'm in the process of trying to install the apache web server(Mark's) and
having trouble trying to compile it.  The error messages are below along
with Mark's comments.  I would like to use the gcc compiler rather then
c89 compiler (i haven't a clue to the differences).  I was under the
impression that i had downloaded and installed the GNU GCC
compiler(the other Mark)  while installing that it also produced an error
but i think i got around it (maybe not) that error is also listed below.

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong or where to get the gcc c
compiler.  I have been using the NCSA web server for the past 5 months
and would like to take advantage of newer features.

As always any help is greatly appreciated,
Rich

I think you may be the first brave person to attempt compiling with c89
instead
of gcc.

Looks like it doesn't understand the -O2 optimization.  Change it to just
-O (I assume c89 -O *does* mean optimize).

You might also have a parameter issue with the final link step....
