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:
configure: Configuring Subversion 1.9.7 configure: creating config.nice checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking if gcc accepts -std=c90... yes checking if gcc accepts -w... yes checking if gcc accepts -Werror=unknown-warning-option... no checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking if g++ accepts -std=c++98... yes checking if g++ accepts -w... yes checking if g++ accepts -Werror=unknown-warning-option... no checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c configure: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library configuration 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. 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, -- Guido
