It's simple enough, so long as you're not scared of C :-) httpd-2.1.x compiles cleanly with apr-1.x. > $ ./configure --prefix=/nssunix/apache/apache2 --enable-auth-anon > --enable-auth-anon --enable-auth-dbm --enable-auth-digest -enable-isapi > --enable-file-cache --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache > --enable-mem-cache --enable-ldap --enable-auth-ldap --enable-mime-magic > --enable-headers --enable-usertrack --enable-ssl --enable-http > --enable-dav --enable-info --enable-suexec --enable-cgi --enable-cgid > --enable-dav-fs --enable-vhost-alias --enable-speling --enable-rewrite > --with-ssl=/opt/openSSL --with-apr=/nssunix/apache/apr I think you should rtfm a bit more. Not all of those options make very much sense, and enabling so many modules as static means that if anything goes wrong, you've made the task of fixing it much harder. > Doing so, I receive the following error: > > checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is > incorrect.

You should build it against a matching APR and APR-UTIL pair: theoretically you can mix-and-match, but that would seem perverse unless you have a compelling reason. My configure works fine with: --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
