In RedHat-based Linux distributions (maybe in others), you'll need to install
the development packages as well as the base packages.
Look for:
apr-devel
apr-util-devel
and install.
Then you can do a configure with:
./configure --with-apr=/usr
since the apr-1-config (at least that's what it's called on Fedora 14) is in
/usr/bin.
. . . . just my two cents.

Subject: Questions about installing APR
My OS is centos 5.5, which has APR 1.2.7 pre-installed on it.
# rpm -qa | grep apr
apr-1.2.7-11.el5_3.1
apr-util-1.2.7-11.el5
I am using Tomcat version 6.0.20 and I located tomcat-native.tar.gz
under tomcat/bin folder. I extracted the contents and now I am in
tomcat/bin/tomcat-native-1.1.16-src/jni/native directory. I have the
"configure" script here.
./configure fails
Error: configure: error: APR could not be located.
Please use the --with-apr option.
Not sure why I get above error since I have the "apr" RPM installed
(version 1.2.7). I double check for these shared libraries under
/usr/lib and they are all there
ls /usr/lib/libapr*
/usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0.2.7
/usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0.2.7
I tried ./configure --with-apr=/usr/lib , but that fails too
Error: checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is
incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an
apr-config file.
So I downloaded APR version 1.4.2 and compiled and installed it with a
different prefix=/tmp/myapr
Now ./configure --with-apr=/tmp/myapr works fine and I see following
line when I start tomcat
Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.16.
APR capabilities: IPv6 [true], sendfile [true], accept filters [false],
random [true].
But I have couple of questions:
1) Is it ok to compile JNI wrapper with APR 1.4.2, but run it with APR
1.2.7 (like I explained above)?
2) Is it ok to use ARP 1.2.7? Or is it strongly recommended to use the
latest version, i.e. APR 1.4.2?
