Configure fails for us when building httpd-2.4.53 from source using the --with-pcre option. The error occurs on both RHEL 8 and Solaris 11.3. A prior release of httpd (httpd-2.4.51) builds successfully in these same environments with the same commands. We're using apr 1.7.0, apr-util 1.6.1, PCRE 8.4.1 and OpenSSL 1.1.1l. Our configure command is: ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache \ --with-crypto --with-openssl=/path/to/ssl \ --with-included-apr \ --with-pcre=/path/to/pcre \ --with-ssl=/path/to/ssl The specific error on RHEL 8 is different than the error on Solaris, but on both platforms /path/to/pcre/bin/pcre-config is executable by the build user, as are all the PCRE libraries. Console output from configure on RHEL 8 shows: checking for -pcre2-config... no checking for -pcre-config... no checking for pcre2-config... no checking for pcre-config... pcre-config configure: error: Did not find working script at pcre-config and config.log on RHEL 8 shows: configure:6144: checking for -pcre2-config configure:6174: result: no configure:6144: checking for -pcre-config configure:6174: result: no configure:6188: checking for pcre2-config configure:6218: result: no configure:6188: checking for pcre-config configure:6204: found /path/to/pcre/bin/pcre-config configure:6215: result: pcre-config configure:6236: error: Did not find working script at pcre-config Console output on Solaris 11 shows: checking for -pcre2-config... no checking for -pcre-config... no checking for pcre2-config... no checking for pcre-config... no configure: error: Did not find working script at /path/to/pcre and contents of config.log on Solaris 11 show: configure:6144: checking for -pcre2-config configure:6174: result: no configure:6144: checking for -pcre-config configure:6174: result: no configure:6188: checking for pcre2-config configure:6218: result: no configure:6188: checking for pcre-config configure:6218: result: no configure:6236: error: Did not find working script at /path/to/pcre We notice significant changes were made to configure between 2.4.51 and 2.4.53.
