Problem b:xml/apr_xml.c:35:19: Fatal error: expat.h: No file or directory #include <expat.h>

Workaround: Missing Expat-devel Package

Problem c:configure:error:pcre-config for Libpcre not found. PCRE is required and available from http://pcre.org/

FIX: Install Pcre

Download pcre-8.41.tar.gz

Decompression pcre-8.41.tar.gz

CD pcre-8.41

Configure the installation path./configure--prefix=/usr/local/pcre

Compile & install make && make install

Issue D:make/usr/local/apr/-util/lib/libaprutil-1.so:undefined reference to ' Xml_geterrorcode ' during compilation

Resolution: I was just beginning to apr-util-1.6.0.tar.gz later changed to apr-util-1.6.0.tar.bz2 so that may be the problem of the package.

Can also be configured to need--with-expat=builtin, I tried but for my mistake is not good, later changed a package finally worked, wasted a long time.

Re-unzip with Apr-util-1.6.0.tar.bz2 again, back to Httpd-2.4.27,make clean

Configuration./configure--prefix=/usr/local/apache--with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre/--with-apr=/usr/local/apr/--with-apr-util=/ usr/local/apr-util/

Compile and install make && make install complete
