Description daryl herzmann 2019-10-25 21:04:12 UTC

Description of problem:

apxs appears to fail out of the box with the following error:

$ apxs -q INCLUDEDIR
Package apr-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `apr-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'apr-1' found


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-devel-2.4.37-12.module+el8.0.0+4096+eb40e6da.x86_64


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run apxs
2. observe the error

this workaround works:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig apxs -q INCLUDEDIR
/usr/include/httpd

Comment 1 Luboš Uhliarik 2019-11-18 13:04:01 UTC

Hi Daryl,

I can not reproduce it with fresh RHEL-8 installation. After installing httpd-devel package and
executing apxs -q INCLUDEDIR, it works out of the box. 

# apxs -q INCLUDEDIR
/usr/include/httpd

# rpm -qa httpd-devel
httpd-devel-2.4.37-16.module+el8.1.0+4134+e6bad0ed.x86_64

Anyway, it worked well with the same version as you mentioned in the bug Description. Can you still
reproduce this issue?

What's the output of following command:

#pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config

Greetings,

On dear, this was a goose chase :(

$ which pkg-config
/opt/miniconda3/envs/prod/bin/pkg-config

That's provided by Anaconda's python install.  Getting that out of the $PATH, things work fine. I am sorry for the troubles.
