I'm following these set of instructions from this link here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html (and following instructions from a guide book as well- which isn't going too well)



I got the APR/APR util properly done; based off the book it uses gunzip -c httpd___.tar.gz | tar -xf -



I extracted these files but wasn't sure how to unpack it into "/httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr and /httpd_source_tree_root/srclib/apr-util "



Am I supposed to do : gunzip -c httpd___.tar.gz | tar -xf - C/home/Downloads/httpd_source__xxxxx ?



Tried playing around with the terminal but couldn't get it to work, so I extracted it using the default method from above, and copied/pasted it into /srclib/apr and scrclib/apr-util.



This brings me to the configure step. I've been looking around on stack exchange but couldn't find a solution right for me. ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10663180/http-install-error-in-libpcre)



I downloaded the PCRE, extracted it. And now here comes the part where I am completely lost and would appreciate any help/directions/or answers.
What I tried so far



1) I copied/pasted the extracted PCRE into the /srclib as pcre. From the terminal, I cd'd my way into the httpd directory and tried this



./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre

make
make install


which gave me an error



/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/pcre': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1


I tried other multiple ways but kept getting the same PCRE error.



What am I doing wrong?

    Is this really any more than a simple permissions issue? /usr/local/ is a system directory, so if make install needs to write there, you need to run it as root - the appropriate way to do that (su, sudo etc.) will depend on what distribution/flavor of Linux you are running.

    Do you really want to compile all yourself and not use distribution provided packages?

  • I see. Should of looked more into what sudo was instead of blindly use it. Thanks. @sami is it better in the long run to learn to compile all this myself/manually than to use a package for everything? Have been wasting a lot of time with trial and error through the terminal rather than learning html, etc
