Normally, you'd be best off including the errors that you're seeing, as well
as the exact names of the packages you see installed, but my spidey sense is
telling me that you've installed the runtime library (eg libapr1), but not
the development library (eg libapr1-dev). It is the latter that you need if
you want to build against a library, not (just) the former.
