Upgraded RHEL server, shibboleth SP no longer building from source

[Paul Beckett (ITCS - Staff)]

I recently upgraded one of my RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 servers (from RHEL 6.9 to RHEL 6.10) using yum update. The shibboleth dependencies which were installed from the shibboleth repository were also updated.

For a variety of reasons, we use a source built Apache, requiring us to build the shibboleth module from source. Our software stack versions are:

*         Apache 2.4.34

*         OpenSSL 1.1.0h

*         APR 1.6.3

*         APR-Util 1.6.1

*         shibboleth-sp-2.6.1

This built fine before, but now fails during the configure:
./configure --with-apxs24=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-apache-24 --prefix=/usr/local/shibsp
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
...
checking for boost/tuple/tuple.hpp... yes
checking for ctime_r... yes, and it takes 2 arguments
checking for log4shib-config... no
configure: WARNING: log4shib-config not found, may need to use --with-log4shib option
configure: WARNING: will look for original log4cpp library
checking for log4cpp-config... no
configure: error: log4cpp-config not found, may need to use --with-log4cpp option

I've experimented with using various --with-log4shib and/or --with-log4cpp options, but had no success in resolving this.

Looking at the shibboleth dependencies that are installed I wondered if this is due to the liblog4shib-devel library having been updated from 1.0.903.1 to 2.0.0-3.1. Below is a list of the shibboleth dependencies from the shibboleth repo on a working RHEL6.9 system and an upgraded RHEL 6.10 system that is not working.

Pre-upgrade /usr/bin/log4shib-config exists but afterwards no longer exists.

Any help resolving this would be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
