Any advice for compiling mod_security 1.9.5 on CentOS 5 64-bit?

| Greetings:
Does anyone have any advice on what changes are necessary for mod_security 1.9.5 to compile for Apache 1.3.41 on CentOS 5, 64-bit?
When I use the same steps for non 64-bit CentOS, I get compile errors.
Thank you.

| What are the compile errors you get?
For the 64 bit version make sure that httpd.conf is using the lib64 directory
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_security.so

| You're missing the apache devel package required to build/compile any apache module.
Have you installed apache 1.3.x from source or from a rpm/yum repo?

It is H-Sphere, so they have their own Apache rpm's; we have what they offer installed.
If it matters, we've compiled mod_security on CentOS 3 to 5 (non 64-bit) without a hitch.
Thank you.

| I have have no experience with H-Sphere, i'm just judging from the error message here
Which is apache source header file, you could just download the appropriate apache sources and build mod_security from there.
You might already have the appropriate header files however the configure script/gcc isn't looking at the right place. See if you have ap_md5.h anywhere on the system and make appropriate symlink, that should fix the problem as well.

Thank you.
While I'm not at the point to try it on a new server, I just finished installing mod_security 1.9.5 on a CentOS 5 32-bit server, and was wondering what's the difference.
Here, thanks to you pointing out ap_md5.h, I checked and this file is present on H-Sphere web servers, but not on a control panel server that does not also have web services.
And that's where I ran into the compilation problem the other week.
Thank you again!

| I dont think you have compiled it properly.
Maybe can use a different zip file which is not corrupted.
Always check the md5 once you downland.

| That makes no sense whatsoever from what the OP provided.

| it makes sense please check the error it looks like the tar or zip file downloaded is a broken link.
