RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

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.
