Problem with apr-util ... Roadmap to Apache httpd

[josel]

Howdy!

A man greatest fear is to realize his ignorance. Every time I deal with compiling and installing open source stuff, I come face to face with my fears (and often realizing them)

I am trying to compile and install Apache 2.0.49. When I run configure, it fails because apr-utils are missing. OK, I then went on to apache.org and downloaded source for apr-utils and try to install them.

In my attempt to install apr-utils, configure fails with a syntax error:

****** output as I run configure CC="gcc" *************

checking build system type... i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5
checking host system type... i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5
checking target system type... i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5
Configuring APR library

checking for working mkdir -p... yes
APR Version: 0.9.4
./configure[2350]: syntax error at line 15 : `newline or ;' unexpected

Any idea how to get around this problem or better yet, fix it?

Thank you all in advance.
