Im trying to install apache http server 2.4.9 on mac osx 10.9. I have downloaded the gcc compiler.

sh-3.2# gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0
Thread model: posix

I have even installed the command line tools

sh-3.2# pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
package-id: com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
version: 5.1.0.0.1.1393561416
volume: /
location: /
install-time: 1401740485
groups: com.apple.FindSystemFiles.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsBoth.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsNonRelocatableShared.pkg-group

But I still get the following error when I try to compile apache 2.4.9 from source

sh-3.2# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2

    I thought I'd just share some related threads, just for the sake of completeness and as you clearly state that you're trying to compile Apache from source and get these errors: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13587001/problems-with-compiling-apache2-on-mac-os-x-mountain-lion and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10357804/configure-error-c-compiler-cannot-create-executables. – mattias Jun 02 '14 at 20:54

MAC OS X 10.9 comes already with a built in httpd module, to enable it open terminal and type the follow commands:

TO START:

sudo apachectl start

TO STOP:

sudo apachectl stop

TO RESTART:

sudo apachectl restart

You have downgrade your Xcode command line tools. I used the April 10 Mavericks version and it worked.
