Building nginx 1.0.4 on Amazon EC2 micro - perl and python problems
- by digitaltoast
I'd like to run nginx as a reverse proxy with apache2 on my EC2 micro instance.
yum install nginx gives me nginx-0.8.53-1.2.amzn1.x86_64.rpm
The current nginx is 1.0.4
I found and followed this guide: http://kdn2.info/2011/05/install-nginx-on-amazon-ec2/
It works fine up to and including "make".
When I get to checkinstall --fstrans=no I get
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/installwatch.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
test -d '/var/log/nginx' || mkdir -p '/var/log/nginx'
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/installwatch.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/src/nginx-1.0.4'

There IS /usr/src/rpm/BUILDROOT/nginx-1.0.4-1.x86_64/ but no /usr
Following further down the page, it says:
"If we want to use, for example, PHP 5.2 we can download PHP and Nginx compatible with Amazon Kernel(Xen Kernel) from the CentosALT Repository."
So I install the two repositories, but when I
yum install http://centos.alt.ru/pub/nginx/1.0/RPMS/x86_64/nginx-stable-1.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
I get
Error: Package: nginx-stable-1.0.4-1.el5.x86_64 (/nginx-stable-1.0.4-1.el5.x86_64)
Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
but that doesn't fix it.
When I do yum update, I get
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

I've tried everything - yum clean all and various other suggestions found on other sites.
If anyone has any suggestions or a known package of the current 1.04 nginx working on EC2 Micro (Linux ip-10-56-63-85 2.6.35.11-83.9.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Feb 19 23:42:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux - which I think is RHEL 5?) then I'd be grateful.
Incidentally, does this repolist look right?
