I juste installed apxs bin with the httpd24-httpd-devel-2.4.6-16.el6.x86_64 package.
I need it to compile PHP with Apache module.
When I launch the command apxs --help I get the following error:
cannot open /httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/bin/apxs line 214
I locate this file into /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd/build/, should I add this folder to my PATH or is there a way to tell Apache to look at this directory?
This is the problem with SCL package httpd24-httpd-devel. There was already bug for standard CentOS/RedHat rpm which was fixed.
Since apxs is a perl script if you take a look inside it, this is the responsible code:
my $libdir = `pkg-config --variable=libdir apr-1`;
chomp $libdir;
my $installbuilddir = $libdir . "/httpd/build";
What you also can do is change the $installbuilddir variable to:
my $installbuilddir = '/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64' . "/httpd/build";
Just make sure you modify the httpd24 apxs, which is available at /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/bin/apxs, and not the orig one (/usr/sbin/apxs).
If you don't want to modify apxs, this quick fix would work also:
cd /
ln -s /opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/lib64/httpd .
sudo make install is destroying the path, and the wrong pkg-config gets called. See my answer.

Are you doing sudo make install from inside a scl enable httpd24 bash? This resets $PATH to the default. You need to instead do:
sudo scl enable httpd24 perl516 'make install'
