You don't need to delete it, but you'll have to run another round of configure on the new APR/APR-util anyhow. It's really unfortunate the environment is so slow. Any way you can do this on bare metal somewhere so you don't have to wait for hours to see the results? > 2. Where should I upload apr-1.3.2.tar.gz? in srclib? No need. You can put it anywhere you like. But, if you replace apr and apr-util directories inside srclib with release 1.3.2, it should work as well. > 3. Does this contain both apr and apr-util? No. APR-util is separate (i.e. you need to download another tarball). > 4.

APR and APR-util are separate packages from httpd (httpd folks do ship both with httpd for convenience). They can be installed by themselves. They get installed like this: APR: ---------- ./configure [various options you like here] make make install ---------- APR-util: ---------- ./configure --with-apr=/where/apr/is [various options you like here] make make install ---------- Run ./configure --help to see all the options. Once you're done with those two, you can build and install httpd in a similar way: httpd: ---------- ./configure --with-apr=/where/apr/is --with-apr-util=/where/apr-util/is [various options you like here] make make install ---------- Again, run ./configure --help to see all the options. > 5. So suppose I install apr and apr-util under srclib, > will I need to run the Apache configure again? Yes, that's correct. Given that this runs for such a long time, it would really be better to do it on the hardware, rather than an emulator. Otherwise, it may take you weeks before you find out what's going on :-( -- Bojan
