 Ok, so can you please check if /usr/pkg/bin/apr-1-config is a working
 script?
 
 Does e.g.
 
 /usr/pkg/bin/apr-1-config --libs
 
 return something useful? For me it returns:
 
 # apr-1-config  --libs
  -lrt -lcrypt  -lpthread
 
 
 If I read the code correctly (from configure), it uses --help to check
 if the script works.
 
 Excerpt from apr-util's configure script:
 
 # Check whether --with-apr was given.
 if test ${with_apr+y}
 then :
   withval=$with_apr;
     if test "$withval" = "no" || test "$withval" = "yes"; then
       as_fn_error $? "--with-apr requires a directory or file to be provided" "$LINENO" 5
     fi
 
     for apr_temp_apr_config_file in $apr_temp_acceptable_apr_config
     do
       for lookdir in "$withval/bin" "$withval"
       do
         if $TEST_X "$lookdir/$apr_temp_apr_config_file"; then
           apr_config="$lookdir/$apr_temp_apr_config_file"
 
           apr_found="yes"
           break 2
         fi
       done
     done
 
     if test "$apr_found" != "yes" && $TEST_X "$withval" && $withval --help > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
       apr_config="$withval"
       apr_found="yes"
     fi
 
             if test "$apr_found" != "yes"; then
       as_fn_error $? "the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file." "$LINENO" 5
     fi
