Re: 2.2.3 -> 2.2.4 upgrade problem | APR?

checking for APR-util... yes
configure: error: Cannot use an external APR-util with the bundled APR

To check to see if this new problem is caused by some change I've 

made to the server (unlikely - all this machine does is serve web 

pages - the only changes I ever make are security patches), I tried 

re-compiling 2.2.3. No problem - everything worked as before.

So, *something* has changed in 2.2.3 -> 2.2.4 that is *broken* on my 

machine (meaning, I can't even configure 2.2.4). In the config.log, I 

see the following:

Could you post your ./configure line?

Sure - about as basic as you can get:

./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/apache2

Thats it - I get the same error message whether or not I enable any 

modules or not.

Could you run the commands

locate apr-1-config

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-1-config

locate apu-1-config

and tell us what the output is?

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apu-1-config

Finally, try adding --with-included-apr to ./configure .  This forces 

the build process to use the apr and apr-util that come with the 

release, which I think is what you want to do.  I think this is 

relatively new logic, and may be what you're running into.

OK - thanks for the suggestion. Tried

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-included-apr

which seemed to work (in the sense that I wasn't getting any error 

messages). I followed this with make, which seemed to work fine (given 

that make seems to run fine - no errors). I'm not quite ready for the 

next test (make install), since I don't want to screw up my current, 

working configuration. But, the suggestion of adding --with-included-apr 

seems to have solved the basic .configure problem. Thanks!

Now, for the big question - what is this new argument doing, why do I 

need it, and what really has changed between 2.23 and 2.24?

Thanks very much!
