Hello,

I am tryint to get rid off Tomcat Native Libraray Message from my tomcat log.

I did as following:

[root@server native]# tar -xvf tomcat-native.tar.gz

[root@server native]# cd tomcat-native-1.1.16-src/jni/native

[root@server native]# ./configure && make && make install
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for working mkdir -p... yes
Tomcat Native Version: 1.1.16
checking for chosen layout... tcnative
checking for APR... no
configure: error: APR could not be located. Please use the --with-apr option.

At this point I don't know what could be the solution

Thanks & best regards

According to the documentation:

Build tc-native requires three components to be installed:
* APR library
* OpenSSL libraries
* Java SE Development Kit (JDK)

Have you installed APR and the other dependencies?
Notice that the examples in the documentation use configure with several parameters that indicate the location of APR, OPENSSL and the JDK. It would probably be best to follow the examples.
