Hi,

Looks like that corresponds to libapreq ; but I'm not too sure where to
get it. Is it included in the Apache release? Is it in apache-devel? I
have found a RPM for it, but now I'm not sure that's reliable either. żAny idea?

you have to install httpd-2.0, before you build mod_perl 2.0, and it installs apr and apr-util libs. see the online docs.

Sorry I didn't mention it, but I built apache 2.0.43 under the same
upper dir, and installed it under /usr/local/apache2. The command line
for building was:
perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2

It does have the apr and apr-util libs, in the correct directory I
guess. ls /usr/local/apache2/lib/
apr.exp libapr-0.la libapr-0.so.0.9.2 libaprutil-0.so
aprutil.exp libapr-0.so libaprutil-0.a libaprutil-0.so.0
libapr-0.a libapr-0.so.0 libaprutil-0.la libaprutil-0.so.0.9.2

Do I have to define another config variable or something?

Oops, they did it again. Around mid-Sept the apr project has changed the way they name libs. None of us have had problems because we still had the old libs with the old conventions linked instead of the new ones.

what used to be libapr.so.0.9.2, now is named libapr-0.so.0.0.2 (same for aprutil), similar to libdb's naming convention.

So here is the patch that will get you going if you use the current cvs. Though it won't work with older aprs. Should probably hide the differences in the ModPerl::MM build.
