apxs not working?

[jammer]

hi..

i'm trying to compile mod_jk.so using the apxs that comes with xampp 1.4.11.
however, it's returning this error:

cannot open /opt/lampp/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /opt/lampp/bin/apxs line 217.

the only option i see right now is for me to recompile apache httpd to get a valid apxs.

would anybody know if there is an alternative to recompiling?

thanks

Dear jammer!

You also need the XAMPP development package. It contains the missing files. You can get it from the same place where you downloaded XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

thanks Oswald!

i managed to compile mod_jk.so without a hitch and now i've now got tomcat 5.5.4 running alongside apache...

now i've just got to connect mysql with tomcat and i'm all set
