Hey, I didn't know the answer to this one but found what might be your solution here:

Below is the little snippet that I think addresses your problem. check the page link above for a more thorough explanation.

Best wishes,

First, you will need to install the subversion-devel rpm, from the fedora legacy RPM archives. It will include the missing .h files. (Or, if you can find them from other archive, make sure you have them installed)

Edit modsecurity.c, and add these two lines to the list of #include lines:

#include <apr-0/apr_md5.h>
#include <apr-0/apr_user.h>

Then, add these symlinks:

ln -s /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0 /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libapr-0.so.0 /usr/lib/libapr-0.so

And then compile like this:

apxs -cai -lapr-0 -laprutil-0 mod_security.c

i tried that not working. Here is what i found the initial lines of error i quickly stopped the script.

[root@vps apache1]# apxs -c mod_security.c

mod_security.c:73: error: syntax error before "security_module"
mod_security.c:73: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
mod_security.c:445: error: syntax error before "array_header"

it looks like the ap_md5.h is missing and i copied from other directory to the -I path of apxs

cp /usr/local/apache/include/ap_md5.h /usr/include/httpd

but still i am getting this bunch of errors.

what could be causing this?

It looks like oyu have two apache installs (one from your distribution and one from /usr/local/apache). Perhaps you are using the wrong apxs? You should probably specify /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -cia mod_security.c

Also, do you have to use Apache 1.3? I suggest you use Apache 2.x so you can use ModSecurity 2.5 (1.9 is not actively maintained).
