Hey Guys,

I’ve found a compile error for NGINX 1.0.3 that didn’t exist for any of  
the previous versions (same configuration, etc.) Here’s the  
“./configure” arguments I used:

./configure --sbin-path=/usr/local/sbin --with-http\_ssl\_module  
–with-ipv6 --without-mail\_pop3\_module --without-mail\_imap\_module  
–without-mail\_smtp\_module --without-http\_autoindex\_module  
–without-http\_ssi\_module --without-http\_auth\_basic\_module  
–without-http\_browser\_module --without-http\_empty\_gif\_module  
–without-http\_geo\_module --without-http\_limit\_req\_module  
–without-http\_limit\_zone\_module --without-http\_map\_module  
–without-http\_memcached\_module --without-http\_proxy\_module  
–without-http\_referer\_module --without-http\_scgi\_module  
–without-http\_split\_clients\_module  
–without-http\_upstream\_ip\_hash\_module --without-http\_userid\_module  
–without-http\_uwsgi\_module --with-cc-opt=-O2

Then I ran “make”

After a little while, this is the ouput:

gcc -o objs/nginx   
objs/src/core/nginx.o   
[…]  
objs/ngx\_modules.o   
-lpcre -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz  
objs/src/core/ngx\_crypt.o: In function `ngx_crypt': /home/wyatt/sources/nginx-1.0.3/src/core/ngx_crypt.c:48: undefined reference to `ngx\_libc\_crypt’  
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status  
make[1]: \*\*\* [objs/nginx] Error 1  
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wyatt/sources/nginx-1.0.3’  
make: \*\*\* [build] Error 2

Am I doing something wrong, or is the problem somewhere in the  
./configure or make scripts?

remove : --without-http\_auth\_basic\_module

It will be ok.

I think it is a Bug!!
