Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script

provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes

it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the

same directory as the 'httpd' executable.


If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against

the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a

very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before

proceeding.



Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable

(press Enter if you don't have it installed):

Please provide the location of the Apache directory:

[  error] Can't find dir ''

Please provide the location of the Apache directory:

[  error] Can't find dir ''
