Hello Mason,

Thanks for the feedback.  Give me some time to sort out how to correctly
patch this so the symlinks aren't needed.

Title:
  /usr/bin/apxs broken when apr15u-devel installed

Status in IUS Community Project:
  New

Bug description:
  The /usr/bin/apxs Perl script is provided by the httpd24u-devel package, and is needed for building Apache extensions. It uses pkg-config to get the libdir of the apr-1 package, as follows:
     my $libdir = `pkg-config --variable=libdir apr-1`;

  This returns an empty string if you have  apr15u-devel installed, because its pkg-config file is named "apr15u-1.pc" rather than "apr-1.pc". The result is that you get the following error when executing apxs:
     cannot open /httpd/build/config_vars.mk: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/apxs line 214.

  A workaround for this to symlink the *.pc files, like so:
     $ ln -s /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/apr15u-1.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/apr-1.pc
