Hi, I haven't been following this thread, but I just got done building 2.4.3 on Centos, so I know that 2.4.3 is different even on Centos :).. After you unpacked the APR and APR-UTIL, did you: - Copy/move the apr and apr-util directories under the srcfile directory that's under the original 2.4.3 exploded directory? - If you did copy/move the apr and apr-util directories did you include the --with-included-apr (or --with-apr-included, I don't remember :))? On my Centos 6 machine, I also had to install the PCRE-devel packages (on Centos, "yum install pcre-devel").
