I'm having problems with mod_gzip and was wondering if you could help out. If I compile it (10.4.3) using: <code>gcc -DDARWIN -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -g -Os -pipe -DHARD_SERVER_LIMIT=2048 -DEAPI -DSHARED_MODULE -I/usr/include/httpd -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -c mod_gzip.c mod_gzip_compress.c mod_gzip_debug.c -o mod_gzip.so</code> I get a shared object file, which <code>make install</code> puts in the right place. However apache refuses to load the module. gcc doesn't like the commas in the makefile in the "-Wall,-O3,-fomit-frame-pointer,-pipe" bit, so I took those out too. The error I get is: Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_gzip.so into server: (reason unknown) and yes, the file exists, is +x etc, however it is only 452 bytes, whilst all the other .so files are 10k to 20k. Would you be able to send me your built version? Hi there. I’m having problems with mod_gzip and was wondering if you could help out. If I compile it (10.4.3) using:

I get a shared object file, which make install puts in the right place. However apache refuses to load the module. gcc doesn’t like the commas in the makefile in the “-Wall,-O3,-fomit-frame-pointer,-pipe” bit, so I took those out too.

The error I get is:

and yes, the file exists, is +x etc, however it is only 452 bytes, whilst all the other .so files are 10k to 20k. Would you be able to send me your built version?
