[root at uszmpaplp005lc Alien-SVN-v1.7.17.1]# rpm -qa | grep apr apr-util-1.3.12-1.jason.1 apr-1.3.12-1.jason.1 However my ultimate goal is to get the CPAN module to recognize APR. My initial thought was that the CPAN module would recognize a source install better than an RPM. So I've tried both approaches of installing APR (rpm and source) and so far I can't get the CPAN module called SVN::Core to recognize APR. This is the error I'm getting from trying to do a perl Build.PL of the CPAN module SVN::Core, in case anyone on the list can provide some help with this ultimate goal: configure: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library configuration checking for APR... no configure: WARNING: APR not found The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library cannot be found. Please install APR on this system and supply the appropriate --with-apr option to 'configure' or get it with SVN and put it in a subdirectory of this source: svn co \ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/1.3.x \ apr Run that right here in the top level of the Subversion tree. Afterwards, run apr/buildconf in that subdirectory and then run configure again here. Whichever of the above you do, you probably need to do something similar for apr-util, either providing both --with-apr and --with-apr-util to 'configure', or getting both from SVN with: svn co \ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/branches/1.3.x \ apr-util configure: error: no suitable apr found configuring SVN failed at inc/My/SVN/Builder.pm line 118, <STDIN> line 3. Something went wrong with the Subversion configuration. Please attempt to correct it and re-run Build.PL.
