Either do not compile it, or update it (likely new version of the module exists which resolves this). Maxim D. ---

This issue was already fixed in ngx\_echo v0.33+, see ``` http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpEchoModule#v0.33 ``` I suggest you upgrade your ngx\_echo module to the latest v0.37rc7 release, which can be downloaded here: ``` https://github.com/agentzh/echo-nginx-module/tags ``` Regards, -agentzh ---

Thank you. As usual you were right. A simple sed -i ‘/MODULESDIR/d’ debian/rules took care of the offending ‘nginx-echo’ module and of all the other modules that bloat the current ubuntu/debian version of Nginx code. Regards, M.
