Problem with apache2 installation -- APR

[Brandon Doyle]

Hello,

This is the error I'm getting:

./configure --enable-so
checking for chosen layout... Apache
checking for working mkdir -p... yes
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep
checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
configure:
configure: Configuring Apache Portable Runtime library...
configure:
checking for APR... configure: WARNING: APR version 1.4.0 or later is required, found 1.3.9
configure: WARNING: skipped APR at apr-1-config, version not acceptable
no
configure: error: APR not found.  Please read the documentation.

So I see the lines that say

checking for APR... configure: WARNING: APR version 1.4.0 or later is required, found 1.3.9
configure: WARNING: skipped APR at apr-1-config, version not acceptable
no

But I'm not sure which commands will fix this or what I should install. Additionally, when I do install what is needed, if these packages are not useful in any way, how may I remove them? Unless that is not necessary.

Thanks,
Brandon

Why are you not installing Apache from the Distro's package manger? That would or should take care of any package dependencies.

I would only 'configure, make, install' if the software I needed was not available either through the package manager, or from a package available through another site that was compatible with my Distro. (ie, .deb file for my Debian systems)
