I think the INSTALL doc is typically for the end user, so it expects
building from a dist tarball, which would already have ./configure
generated. But for development purposes, it's my understanding that
it's best practice to not check ./configure (and other, generated build
system files) into the repo. So when starting from a checkout rather
than a dist tarball, it requires that autoconf, automake, etc. be run to
get to a buildable state.
Maybe we should also have an INSTALL.developers (or whatever).

That's strange. For what it's worth, I can do a brand new checkout,
then run build_for_tests.sh, and it completes successfully with no
errors, installing a complete binary distribution (with samples) into
$src_dir/deploy.
Since it looks like it's trying to install into the root of the source
tree instead of the deploy subdir, I'm guessing there's an issue with how
AXIS2C_HOME is getting set on your system, which is causing issues with
the install prefix. It should all be set up in build_for_tests.sh, so
you might start there.

Since (as far as I can tell) the existing line should be correct, I
think once you figure out the AXIS2C_HOME and/or prefix/destdir issue
referenced above, then the diff, or any further/related fix, shouldn't
be necessary.
I'm happy to try to help you work through it, but as I said, it "works
on my machine" so much of my help would probably answering questions or
making suggestions based on the info you give me.

I suspect this is related to install issue above. The installed
file isn't where the test server is expecting it, so when it tries to
load it, there's a null pointer dereferece. (There are a lot of
functions and code paths that lack null pointer checks - which is
something I wanted to improve at some point)
If I do run_tests.sh, then all tests pass. However, I can duplicate
what you're seeing by renaming deploy/services/echo to something else.
So I think sorting out the install function will fix this, too.

According to this comment
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1645?focusedCommentId=13758315&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-13758315
it sounds like libjson-c-dev is the correct package, but it looks like
the references to library references to "json" still need to be replaced with
"json-c".
In doing that, I got configure to succeed, but then got compiler errors.
It looks like json-c needs C99 or newer. So I added --std=c99 when JSON is
enabled, and was able to get a clean compile. I haven't done any
testing. (side note: maybe we should make the whole project require c99
for the 2.0 release, not just when JSON is enabled).
I've attached the patch with my changes.
Best regards,
Bill
