The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a supporting library for the Apache web server. It provides a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that map to the underlying Operating System (OS). Where the OS doesn't support a particular function, APR will provide an emulation. Thus programmers can use the APR to make a program portable across different platforms.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the book.

Install Apr by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --with-installbuilddir=/usr/share/apr-1/build && make
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root
