Answer 1

1. find apr_lib.h

   $ sudo find / -name "apr_lib.h"

2. add lib

   LDFLAGS='-L[path]' CFLAGS='-I[path]'

   $ ./configure CFLAGS='-arch x86_64' APXSLDFLAGS='-arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/include/apr-1' CFLAGS='-I/usr/include/apr-1' --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs

Answer 2

When you are starting Tomcat you are seeing following error as well:

INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path

The APR is Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments.

Prerequisites for installing APR APR library APR-util library OpenSSL library

Download it from this link http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi and integrate to Tomcat. This will fix your problem

When you installed and integrated then when you restart Tomcat server. You will see like following:

After restarting the Tomcat service, we can get the following message in catalina.out log if APR was installed successfully. ------------ Oct 07, 2015 8:08:54 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.29 using APR version 1.5.2. Oct 07, 2015 8:08:54 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: APR capabilities: IPv6 [true], sendfile [true], accept filters [false], random [true].
