Error installing Apache (libaprutil)

Question

While installing apache, I got this error message:

libtool: install: error: cannot install `libaprutil-1.la' to a directory not ending /some_directory

What's wrong?

NOTE: I already figured out the issue, but since searching Google was not very helpful, I wrote up this question in the hope of helping others, and possibly myself, with this error in the future.

Answer 1

apparently ./config --prefix=/mydir didn't get set correctly the first time. Rerunning a failed apache make can be troublesome. You need to first do a make clean, and then retry with the correct --prefix

Answer 2

That really helped me today. Thanks for the post.

Answer 3

YOu saved my day. For 2 hours i was stuck with this trouble compiling Apache. Now i really feel like a uber noob :/
