Where to find apache-devel-1.3.37.rpm

24th August 2006

I should have been easy. You would have thought rpm packages of apxs and the development headers for the latest version of Apache 1.3 would be found all over the web, but no. Seems all the Redhat, Fedora, CentOS etc. servers are using Apache2. Except, of course, for my client. All I wanted to do was build and install the GeoIP Apache module for them. After three hours hunting (I kept thinking ‘just build your own package’? but I couldn’t believe the package wasn’t out there) I found the package I need at the website for Northfield Linux Users’ Group. I only mention this because the package was particularly hard to find and maybe this will help someone else in a similar situation. The package itself is here – apache-devel-1.3.37-1.norlug.i386.rpm – along with the main apache-1.3.37 rpm and various other useful stuff.

I was even more annoyed when I discovered I didn’t need the package after all, but more on that tomorrow.
