I'm trying to install Apache httpd 2.4.9 on a bare CentOS 6.5 server.
Using the command ./configure --prefix=/etc/httpd --with-included-apr
, the installation of httpd goes smoothly until it gets to the configuration of apr-util
. It then provides the standard error when it can't find a suitable apr directory:
checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file.
configure failed for srclib/apr-util
The first instance it checks for APR, it passes. The second when configuring apr-util
fails. Currently I have both apr
and apr-util
in /etc/httpd/httpd-2.4.9/srclib
.
Would moving the installation files from /etc/httpd
(meaning the httpd-2.4.9
directory) affect the install in any way? Perhaps moving apr
and apr-util
to another location entirely and then using the option --with-apr
instead.
/usr/src/build
and put theapr
folders in there?srclib
directory from the exploded source tarball is correct, but you must rename the apr/apr-util so that there is no version number in the directory name. where you compile it shouldn't really matter.
