I am trying to install Apache2 on Linux. I downloaded the latest Apache, apr, and apr-util. I am currently trying to run the make command on terminal, but there is an error message. See below.

I had tried to do: (from other sources, tried googling this, but it didn't solve the problem)

  • go to the root and try it. Same error.
  • apt-get install apache2
  • apt-get update
  • apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
  • sudo apt-get install libexpat-dev

Here is the console output with errors at the bottom:

EDIT: I found out what is wrong. I need to install GNU autoconf and GNU libtool.

  • Try `sudo apt-get install libexpat-dev` (looks like [here](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/apr-dev/201706.mbox/%3CCAJtcoLauYUCHERDucRLG-EAm839cTD6D2x0QWUuEvHYEHS-mDg@mail.gmail.com%3E) is a similar problem) – yeputons Jun 14 '18 at 21:40
  • I forgot I did that before. So, it did not work. – Tomson Tai Jun 14 '18 at 22:28

Debian

Autoconf:

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ sudo wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
$ sudo tar xf autoconf*
$ cd autoconf-2.69
$ sudo sh configure --prefix /usr/local
$ sudo make install

Automake

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ sudo wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
$ sudo tar xf automake*
$ cd automake-1.15
$ sudo sh configure --prefix /usr/local
$ sudo make install

Libtool

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ sudo wget http://mirror.jre655.com/GNU/libtool/libtool-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ sudo tar xf libtool*
$ cd libtool-2.4.6
$ sudo sh configure --prefix /usr/local
$ sudo make install

And after installing the previous packages I reconfigure if the error persists, before compiling and installing. This is what made me work.

$ sudo sh configure --prefix /usr/local/apache2
$ sudo make install

With these commands, the following errors are solved:

  • Makefile:48: recipe for target 'htpasswd' failed
  • /httpd/build/rules.mk:75: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed

Please check systemctl status httpd (if you installed httpd already) and you run command: dnf remove httpd and you remove source rm -rf /home/root/httpd-2.4.33 and you wget https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache2

This message appears when apr and apr-util are not installed correctly. When I compile from a source file and get the same symptoms, I get a message such as "apr_file_printf" not found.
