["Narne, Balakrishna (IT Consultant)" <BN...@consultantemail.com>]

I am trying to install Apache 2.4.12 on Red hat Linux 6.5 server.but I am getting the below error while configuring apache using "./configure --prefix=/home/NarneB/mw/apache-httpd-2.4.4/pcre". Can you please help me?

Here are the sptes we have followed to install apache 2.4.12

1)      Downloaded httpd-2.4.12 binaries and extracted

2)      Downloaded and extracted latest APR and APR-UTIL and copied to httpd-2.4.12/scrlib.

3)      Downloaded pcre-8.37 and extracted

4)      "./configure --prefix=/home/NarneB/mw/apache-httpd-2.4.4/pcre" command executed from pcre-8.37.

Here I see the c++ compiled installed on this server.

Attached is the config.log file. Can you please look into it and suggest what went wrong?

If you have an RH license I think you should have access to their RHSCL repository, which includes apache 2.4 for RHEL-6. An update of that repository was announced earlier today. 

If you want to continue to try to compile apache outside your OS's package management offerings you may want to start by looking at the config.log, as suggested in last line your included output:

  > configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
  > See `config.log' for more details
 
as it will likely contain hints as to what went wrong.
