I am trying to install apache in my linux machine. But when I tried ./configure --prefix = /usr/local/apache it shows an error configure: error: APR not found. Please read the documentation. I tried to install apr with yum install apr apr-deve and it says
Package apr-1.4.6-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version
No package apr-deve available.
Nothing to do
What should I do now? Please excuse I am a newbie to LINUX

In the directory where you have installed the apache httpd distribution there is a directory that is called /srclib
You cd into that directory cd /srclib.
Make sure you are in that folder. Now open your browser and go to http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi
and download the apr-*.tar.gz files into this directory.
wget <link>
Unzip and extract them into srclib directory
after extracting make sure you rename the apr-* directories to just «apr» and «apr-util», respectively. For example:
mv apr-1.6.5 apr
mv apr-util-1.6.1 apr-util
Now, it should read the .apr files from that folder.
After that it will ask for apr-util too, make sure you follow the same procedure.
Hope this helps!

If your install on apache 2.2 or less than add flag
—with-included-apr
If you are using 2.4 than you can go to https://apr.apache.org/download.cgi and download the latest apr and apr-util. Unpack them and move them into the apache source file into /srclib. Make sure they are named apr and apr-util not apr.x.x.x. Then you can use the —with-included-apr flag

For my linux rig, I got past this by downloading the apr-dev package using the local package manager:
opkg install libapr-1-dev
That was on Angstrom linux, so your command version will likely be different, replacing opkg with apt-get or whatever your distro’s package manager is.

There are several ways of doing this
download latest apr and apr-utils from https://apr.apache.org/
tar xzvf apr.XXX.tar.gz
tar xzvf apr-util,XXX.tar.gz
Solution 1
mv apr.XXX httpd.XYZ/srclib/apr
mv apr-util.XXX httpd.XYZ/srclib/apr-util
you should be able to see
ls httpd.XYZ/srclib/apr-util
apr apr-util
now cofigure apache via
./configure --with-included-apr --other-options-that-you-want
Solution 2
mv apr && ./configure && make && make install
mv apr-util && ./configure && make && make install
mv httpd.XYZ/
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr -other-options-that-you-want
NOTE : /usr/local/apr (CENTOS),your Distro might use different one

You have to download APR and APR-UTIL packages.
install the above downloaded packages from source using below commands
./configure -prefix=
make
make install
Then run your above mentioned command as below
./configure -prefix= -with-apr= -with-apr-util=

The following command works on my mac.
Prerequisites:
brew install apr
brew install pcre
In fact, the link is missing, so http can’t be found
brew link apr
brew link pcre
Copy the prompt you see
vim ~/.bash_profile
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/apr/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/apr/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/apr/include"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/apr-util/bin:$PATH"
then, try again
source ~/.bash_profile
./configure

Installing Apache HTTP is always fun. A few days back, I was installing Apache 2.4 on CentOS VM and encountered multiple errors.
I thought it would be helpful to put together for a reference.
APR not found
[root@chandan httpd-2.4.25]# ./configure --enable-ssl checking for chosen layout... Apache checking for working mkdir -p... yes checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu configure: configure: Configuring Apache Portable Runtime library... configure: checking for APR... no configure: error: APR not found. Please read the documentation. [root@chandan httpd-2.4.25]#
APR stands for “Apache Portable Runtime” and needed to compile from the source. If you are in the same situation as me then following will rescue you.
First, you need to install APR.
- Download the latest version of APR using wget
wget https://www-eu.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-1.6.3.tar.gz .
- Extract the downloaded file
gunzip -c apr-1.6.3.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- it will create a new folder “apr-1.6.3”
- Go inside and compile with configure command
./configure
It will take a few seconds and once done you will get a prompt back (ensure no error).
- The last step would be to install using make command
make make install
Once done, I tried installing Apache and got another error.
APR-util not found

Please read the documentation. [root@chandan httpd-2.4.25]#
In case you have “APR-util not found” error as well then you got to install the following.
- Download the latest APR-util source
wget https://www-eu.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz .
- Extract the downloaded gz file
gunzip -c apr-util-1.6.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- Go inside the newly created folder “apr-util-1.6.1” and install using the following commands
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config make make install
Tried installing Apache again and got another error.

The first thing you have to ensure you have the latest version of OpenSSL which was in my case, so I needed to install the devel package, and it was all right.
yum install openssl-devel
xml/apr_xml.c:35:19: fatal error: expat.h: No such file or directory
While compiling APR, I got this error.
[root@instance-1 apr-util-1.6.1]# make make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/temp/apr-util-1.6.1' /bin/sh /usr/local/apr/build-1/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -g -O2 -pthread -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLINUX -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/opt/temp/apr-util-1.6.1/include -I/opt/temp/apr-util-1.6.1/include/private -I/usr/local/apr/include/apr-1 -o xml/apr_xml.lo -c xml/apr_xml.c && touch xml/apr_xml.lo xml/apr_xml.c:35:19: fatal error: expat.h: No such file or directory #include <expat.h> ^ compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [xml/apr_xml.lo] Error 1
If you are getting this error, then this can be resolved by installing expat-devel package.
yum install expat-devel
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
C compiler not found is typical for any software build, and you can fix this by installing the compiler.
yum install gccnghttp2 version is too old
This is specific to when you try to install Apache with HTTP/2. You will get the following error.
checking whether to enable mod_http2... checking dependencies

configure: WARNING: nghttp2 version is too old
no
checking whether to enable mod_http2... configure: error: mod_http2 has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failuresAnd, if so, you can fix by installing nghttp2 as below.
- Download the latest version of nghttp2 from here
wget https://github.com/nghttp2/nghttp2/releases/download/v1.37.0/nghttp2-1.37.0.tar.gz- Extract the downloaded file
tar -xvf nghttp2-1.37.0.tar.gz- It will create a new folder, go inside that and run the following
./configure
make
make installOnce done without error, run the Apache source build with HTTP2 again. It should be alright.
Finally, I was able to install Apache successfully. If you are interested in learning about Apache HTTP Server Administration, then check out this online course.
During Apache httpd installation if you get below error, that means Apache Portable Run-time environment was not found or not installed.
checking for APR... no configure: error: APR not found. Please read the documentation.
and/or
checking for APR-util... no configure: error: APR-util not found. Please read the documentation.
So install APR and APR-util and give httpd those paths. Httpd will be happy to run for you after that… 🙂
Go further if you want to know how to install APR.
You can download APR and APR-util from here.
Then extract those to separate folders.
First change to the extract APR directory and install it. (Tip: cd command to change directory)
sudo ./configure --prefix=<apr-path> sudo make sudo make install
So you have a working APR. Next is APR-util.
Change to the extract APR-Util directory and install it. (Tip: cd command to change directory)
sudo ./configure --prefix=<apr-util-path> --with-prefix=<apr-path> sudo make sudo make instal
Install zlib packages with the command (optional; you can turn this off at your will):
yum install zlib zlib-devel
Apart from APR and APR-Util, you may need to install pcre too. So download it from here first.
Change to the directory and use the below commands to install.
sudo ./configure --prefix=<pcre-path> sudo make sudo make install
Now lets make httpd understand that we have a working pcre, APR and APR-util.
./configure --enable-file-cache --enable-cache --enable-disk-cache --enable-mem-cache --enable-deflate --enable-expires --enable-headers --enable-usertrack --enable-cgi --enable-vhost-alias --enable-rewrite --enable-so --prefix=<httpd-path> --with-apr=<apr-path> --with-apr-util=<apr-util-path> --with-pcre=<pcre-path>
# Rest is history make make install

Tips do not find APR, use yum to install, but must pay attention to the installation, tips to install which software, usually add devel after the software, that is to say, to install the lack of software development tools, such as this tip apr, it is necessary to install apr-devel:
#yum install apr-devel
After the installation is completed, then. / configure;
In particular, during this period, you can not switch to other directories, the entire installation process must be in the root directory of the installation software;

7. After completion, configure PATH variable and man manual. After completion, start the service, login address and test page appear, which means the installation is successful.
Because I need a bug fix which is not available in Ubuntu’s repository version of subversion, I am installing it from source.
On running ./configure, I get an error:
configure: WARNING: APR not found
The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library cannot be found.
Please install APR on this system and supply the appropriate
--with-apr option to 'configure'
or
get it with SVN and put it in a subdirectory of this source:
svn co
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.2.x
apr
Run that right here in the top level of the Subversion tree.
Afterwards, run apr/buildconf in that subdirectory and
then run configure again here.
Whichever of the above you do, you probably need to do
something similar for apr-util, either providing both
--with-apr and --with-apr-util to 'configure', or
getting both from SVN with:
svn co
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.2.x
apr-util
configure: error: no suitable apr found
Notes:
1) I have already installed libapr1
2) I am not able to install svn client, to follow the instructions in the error message (apt-get install svn — no package found — I have main, universe, restricted, multiverse in sources.list)
