I am trying to install Apache HTTP server locally in my box as a regular user (non-root).

I have downloaded Apache 2.4.1 version of Apache HTTP server [http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi]. However when I am trying to build and install locally in my box I am getting below error:

httpd/httpd-2.4.1 1059> ./configure
checking for chosen layout... Apache
checking for working mkdir -p... yes
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep
checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Configuring Apache Portable Runtime library ...

checking for APR... no
configure: error: APR not found.  Please read the documentation.

I am not sure what dependency it is looking for – I mean the download package does not contains it? What I need to do to build / deploy Apache HTTP server?

    When it tells you Please read documentation it means that you should go read Apache documentation ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/install.html ) which tells you to

    download the latest versions of both APR and APR-Util from Apache APR,
    unpack them into ./srclib/apr and ./srclib/apr-util (be sure the
    domain names do not have version numbers; for example, the APR
    distribution must be under ./srclib/apr/)

    then do

    ./configure --with-included-apr
