difficulty building shibboleth SP from source on RHEL6 for Apache 2.4

[Paul Beckett (ITCS)]

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't realise there was an --enable-apache-24, I'd just adapted my configure line from the options in the example on https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPLinuxSourceBuild

My apache install is the only copy of Apache on the server. The OS (yum / rpm repo's) of httpd and httpd-devel are not installed.

I've re-run the configure with:
./configure --with-log4shib=/usr/local/shibboleth-sp --prefix=/usr/local/shibboleth-sp --with-apr=/usr/local/apache/bin/apr-1-config --with-apu=/usr/local/apache/bin/apu-1-config --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-apache-24 --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl

This still fails, concluding with:
checking default apache version... configure: error: unusable apache versions: . Try setting --with-apxs

The config.log can be viewed at: http://www.uea.ac.uk/~s167/config.log , this seems to contain several errors, but I don't really understand what most of the mean or how I can resolve them.

Thanks,
Paul
