Re: Error in APR files

Compiling from source isn't the best path, if you're referencing the other users@ post, no. You should use your distro's packages, unless you need a very specific version.

That being said, the files from the main link are fine. It sounds like you saved the web page:

https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi

exactly what you are running.

I ran into the rather odd result that the Apache APR files are not valid.
Specifically, I downloaded the apr files from the Apache web site:

file apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2
apr-1.7.4.tar.bz2: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines
file apr-1.7.4.tar.gz
apr-1.7.4.tar.gz: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines

Where can I get valid files for APR?
