Just for clarification, I now know that the config line was wrong; I didn't see the note about having to use "with-included-apr" when moving the apr files to the srclib directory.
I retried with the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr/apache-2.4.3 --with-ssl=/usr/openssl-1.0.1c --with- zlib --with-pcre=/usr/pcre-8.32 --with-included-apr It still crashes during the make phase with the same messages.
