./configure: error: module ngx_pagespeed requires the pagespeed optimization library.

[Ripal Sanghani]

Hi All - 

I've been looking at past history for the error I am receiving (including the last couple from yesterday and few days before that) and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I am not the best at Linux, but, process is straightforward enough for me to have attempted following instructions via the Google Page Speed how-to (and also referred to Digital Ocean's Nginx + Page Speed tut).

Steps I've taken with no issues:

cd >> from home directory (also did this under nginx/debian/modules directly)

wget https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/archive/v1.9.32.10-beta.zip

unzip release-${NPS_VERSION}-beta.zip

cd ngx_pagespeed-release-1.9.32.10/

sudo wget https://dl.google.com/dl/page-speed/psol/1.9.32.10.tar.gz (also tried .6)

tar -xzvf 1.9.32.10.tar.gz  # extracts to psol/

cd >> home directory

# check http://nginx.org/en/download.html for the latest version

NGINX_VERSION=1.9.3

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.9.3.tar.gz

tar -xvzf nginx-1.9.3.tar.gz

cd nginx-1.9.3/

Problems start here:

./configure --add-module=$HOME/ngx_pagespeed-1.9.32.10-beta/ (also tried from $HOME/nginx-1.9.3/debian/modules/ngx_pagespeed-1.9.32.10-beta/)

I get the following...

adding module in /home/webdev/ngx_pagespeed-1.9.32.10-beta/

mod_pagespeed_dir=/home/webdev/ngx_pagespeed-1.9.32.10-beta//psol/include

build_from_source=false

checking for psol ... not found

./configure: error: module ngx_pagespeed requires the pagespeed optimization library.

Look in objs/autoconf.err for more details.

----------

Attached the autoconf.err. Please let me know what else I can provide.

Best,

Rip

Forgot to mention - I did verify the psol existed and re-downloaded multiple times.

The attached autoconf.err has:

It looks like you are running into https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/issues/942

Could you try passing in "--with-cc-opt="-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0" when building nginx?

Hi Otto - 

I think this worked! I will post back if I am still running into issues. 

Thanks so much!
