Hi, Bernard, I had similar issue, though I tried to compile Apache 2.4.2 under CentOS 6.2 - see of these tips will be usefull to you: 1. For Apache 2.4.x - you need apr and apr-util 1.4.x or later (means most probably you do not have them yet in you OS repos and need manually download them form http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi 2. Extract them to ./srclib/apr and ./srclib/apr-util directory respectively. 3. Download -deps files for your Apache build from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache24 (I used this one - http://www.sai.msu.su/apache//httpd/httpd-2.4.2-deps.tar.gz ) 4. Extract -deps files to your ./srclib/apr directory 5. Use --with-included-apr switch with ./configure script Also, I have error messages issued by ./configure script on APR stuff just because I did not have gcc compiler installed on my machine. Well, whatever - I installed gcc package and ./configure run smoothly. Also, in my case I needed to install pcre-devel package - see if you need it too. After all these steps I was able to ./configure the sources, "make" and "make install" them without problems. One more tip: I do not know how to remove it if you do not like it, "make uninstall" will not work :) . So, to install the Apache, I used ./configure with no --prefix switch (and any other directory fine-tuning switches) which, I believe, put the all the files into /usr/local/apache2 directory, so removal should be simply removing this directory, but again I am not sure, I just avoided to abuse all those directory fine tuning switched to prevent the product be all over the place. I wonder if any of those tips helped you, Good luck, Roman. -----Original Message----- From: Bernard T.

Download and unpack the corresponding apr and apr-util packages to ./srclib/. I went to http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi and downloaded apr-1 and apr-util. As for apr-1, I found a a setup for building (configure, make etc.) which appeared to be successful. Nowhere did I see anything to "unpack to srclib" As for apr-util, I can't build because configure: error: APR could not be located. Please use the --with-apr option. This option requires a "path to installed APR or the full path to apr-config" So I seem to be going around in circles and any help would of course be appreciated.
