Hello,

I'm trying to install subversion 1.9.7 in Ubuntu 16.04 using its source code. When I do ./configure ./configure --with-apr=/usr/lib/apache2 --with-apr-util=/usr/lib/apache2 , I get the following error:

I'am pretty sure those provided locations are right because I used the find / -name "apache2" command to obtain them. Please tell me what is wrong.

Kind Regards,

Did you look for "apr-config" or just "apache2"?  See

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41910/how-to-make-apr-available-for-subversion-install

and of course the reference

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/INSTALL

You can specify the location of the "apr-config" file directly and it should proceed from there.

Disclaimer:  I haven't tried to build Subversion in a long time, and I use CentOS, not Ubuntu...
