I’ve been trying to set up my ROR app on AIX 5.3 with Passenger. Tried all the different options. Till last night, I was getting below: Commands: cd /path to my app passenger start src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.c: In function ‘ngx\_strerror’: src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.c:36:43: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.c: In function ‘ngx\_strerror\_init’: src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.c:57:24: error: invalid type argument of unary ‘\*’ (have long unsigned int’) src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.c:64:37: error: expected expression before ‘;’ token gmake[1]: \*\*\* [objs/src/os/unix/ngx\_errno.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/abaziz-passenger-standalone-860288/ nginx-1.0. I went in and manually changed file called ngx\_auto\_config.h, line 107 to: #ifndef NGX\_SYS\_NERR #define NGX\_SYS\_NERR to #ifndef NGX\_SYS\_NERR #define NGX\_SYS\_NERR 1 This seem to have fixed the error. I want to confirm if this is a known an issue with nginx code? Moving on - I’m now hitting different problems when I do the command: passenger-install-nginx-module. … config.status: executing depfiles commands rm -f ext/libev//libev.la cd ext/libev/ && make libev.la /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc - DHAVE\_CONFIG\_H -I. -g -O2 -O3 -c -o ev.lo ev.c gcc -DHAVE\_CONFIG\_H -I. -g -O2 -O3 -c ev.c -o ev.o ev.c: In function ‘ev\_invoke\_pending’: ev.c:1997:9: error: ‘ANPENDING’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c: In function ‘ev\_clear\_pending’: ev.c:2465:15: error: ‘ANPENDING’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c: In function ‘ev\_io\_start’: ev.c:2506:3: error: ‘ev\_io’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c:2514:25: error: ‘ev\_io’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c:2515:4: error: ‘ev\_io’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c: In function ‘ev\_embed\_start’: ev.c:3387:5: error: ‘ev\_io’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ ev.c: In function ‘ev\_once’: ev.c:3567:7: error: ‘ev\_io’ has no member named ‘reqevents’ make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1. Any help would be welcome. Thanks, Aziz ---

You should try to build libev separately. Download original source from [http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/Attic/libev-3.9.tar.gz](http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/Attic/libev-3.9.tar.gz), build and install libev. Then try to rebuild nginx with installed libev. – Sergey A.

I’ve been successfull in building libev separately. How to configure nginx (its actually passenger I believe) to use the installed copy? Many Thanks, Aziz ---
