apache configure problem

,

I've been happily running the apache httpd server for quite some time now, and upgrade has always been only a matter of running ./config.nice from the previous installation - it's quite a hassle to get your initial configuration, but upgrading is trivial. But then, when upgrading from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4…

Configuring Apache Portable Runtime Utility library...

checking for APR-util... yes
configure: error: Cannot use an external APR-util with the bundled APR


I seem to be not the only one having this problem.

Running ./config.nice --with-included-apr configures fine and solves the problem. Would have been nice to point out somewhere that the changes done with respect to APR calls do require this flag to force use of the bundled version of APR at build time.

wow... i'm surprised this is the only page i've found with a working solution.

Note: the "--with-included-apr" directive works not only with ./config.nice, but also a fresh ./configure with all the other directives piled on... just include it at the end.

Thanks a bunch! I feel one less headache now.

Oh, yes - I only mentioned ./config.nice because I thought the problem would show up only when upgrading... Silly me :smile:
