LinuxQuestions.org - error: APR could not be located. Please use the --with-apr option.

Following is the result of make install of apr-1.4.6.tar.gz.

Code:

ibtool: install: (cd /usr/local/apr/lib && { ln -s -f libapr-1.so.0.4.6 libapr-1.so.0 || { rm -f libapr-1.so.0 && ln -s libapr-1.so.0.4.6 libapr-1.so.0; }; })

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Libraries have been installed in:

  /usr/local/apr/lib



If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries

in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and

specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'

flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

  - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable

    during execution

  - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable

    during linking

  - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

  - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'



See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

which apr results in:

Why is apr-util not able to see apr?
Yes, I did updatedb, but to no avail.
