Since Apache 2.4, the Apache Portable Runtime and the Perl Compatible Regex modules are no longer packaged with the original source. However, these modules are mandatory for Apache to compile and run. Apache provides the flexibility to point to existing instances of these when compiling. If you do not have these modules you can add them as follows:

First, download the module source files:

test$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-1.6.3.tar.bz2
$ wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-util-1.6.1.tar.bz2


# Apache 2 requires pcre, not pcre2
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/pcre-8.41.tar.bz2
