I followed the instructions given on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html. - # Build and install apr 1.2 cd srclib/apr ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ make make install # Build and install apr-util 1.2 cd ../apr-util ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util-httpd/ --with-apr=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ make make install # Configure httpd cd ../../ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util-httpd/ However, I'm getting the following error when I try to configure apr-util - configuring package in xml/expat now checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: syntax error near unexpected token `lt_decl_varnames,' /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: `lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , ,' configure failed for xml/expat While installing Apache as it is, i.e. using ./configure --with-included-apr, I get the following error - configuring package in xml/expat now checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: syntax error near unexpected token `lt_decl_varnames,' /home/sanchit/Documents/httpd-2.3.8/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/configure: line 2417: `lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , ,' configure failed for xml/expat configure failed for srclib/apr-util The line mentioned in the error is - lt_if_append_uniq(lt_decl_varnames, SHELL, , , lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [libtool_name], [m4_ifval([], [], [SHELL])]) lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [value], [1]) m4_ifval([Shell to use when invoking shell scripts], [lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [description], [Shell to use when invoking shell scripts])]) lt_dict_add_subkey([lt_decl_dict], [SHELL], [tagged?], [m4_ifval([], [yes], [no])])) Please tell me how to fix this.
