make install failing with "error: cannot install 'libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending in /etc/httpd24/lib" (Apache Users)

Hi, folks,

I'm building httpd 2.4.54 on RHEL 6. I took the apr files supplied and put them into ./httpd2.4.54/srclib, then did the configure/make/make install thus:

./configure --prefix /opt/apache/httpd --with-included-apr --with-pcre=/usr/local/bin/pcre2-config

Everything built fine and ran fine. Then I decided to change the layout. I copied and altered the RedHat layout like to be like so:

prefix: /opt/apache/httpd

exec_prefix: ${prefix}

bindir: ${prefix}/bin

sbindir: ${prefix}/sbin

libdir: ${prefix}/lib

libexecdir: ${prefix}/lib/apache

mandir: ${prefix}/man

sysconfdir: /etc/httpd/conf

datadir: /data/htdocs

installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build

errordir: ${datadir}/error

iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons

htdocsdir: ${datadir}/html

manualdir: ${datadir}/manual

cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin

includedir: ${prefix}/include/apache

localstatedir: /var

runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/run

logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/log/httpd

proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/cache/httpd

</Layout>

and ran ./configure --with-included-apr --with-pcre=/usr/local/bin/pcre2-config --enable-layout=Local

It made okay, but it died on make install:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr-util'

/root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr/build/mkdir.sh /opt/apache/httpd/include/apache /opt/apache/httpd/lib/pkgconfig \

/opt/apache/httpd/lib /opt/apache/httpd/bin

for f in /root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr-util/include/*.h /root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr-util/include/*.h; do \

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ${f} /opt/apache/httpd/include/apache; \

done

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 apr-util.pc /opt/apache/httpd/lib/pkgconfig/apr-util-1.pc

list=''; for i in $list; do \

( cd $i ; make DESTDIR= install ); \

done

/bin/sh /root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr/libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -m 755 libaprutil-1.la /opt/apache/httpd/lib

libtool: error: error: cannot install 'libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending in /etc/httpd24/lib

make[2]: *** [install] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/httpd-2.4.54/srclib/apr-util'

How can I eliminate this error? Do I need to install the apr files separately and move on?

Thanks,

John A
