• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2005-03-12 09:31:55 UTC]

Trying to build ~x86 apache, ran across the following problem.  I tried rebuilding apr to no effect.

You need APR random support to use mod_auth_digest.
Look at APR configure options --with-egd and --with-devrandom.

Does either /dev/random or /dev/urandom exist on your system ?  APR should, when configured, automatically detect one of those node by-default, afaik.

[Comment 2 Elfyn McBratney (beu) (RETIRED) 2005-03-13 17:19:49 UTC]

I've committed two rev bumps (apr-0.9.5-r2 and 0.9.6-r2) that are hard-masked.  Can you emerge --sync, add '=dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2' to /etc/portage/package.unmask, emerge =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2 and then emerge =net-www/apache-2.0.53 again and see if it helps ?  If they do, and once I've verified that these changes won't break apps, I'll unmask them.

> Does either /dev/random or /dev/urandom exist on your system ?

Both of those exist on my system.  Both are readable only by root:root.  Since I haven't configured these specifically, I imagine that most people have similarly configured systems.

crw-rw----  1 root root 1, 8 Feb 23 06:13 /dev/random
crw-rw----  1 root root 1, 9 Feb 23 06:14 /dev/urandom

> emerge =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2 and then emerge =net-www/apache-2.0.53 again

# emerge apr apache -pv

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

<@vapier> if /dev/{random,urandom} are not a+r, then your system is broken
