Disabling virbr0

I notice there is virbr0 interface on my CentOS Machine. There is no kvm running on this machine so I guess there is no need for this interface.

virbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:56:BD:B2
          inet addr:192.168.122.1  Bcast:192.168.122.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:55 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:9410 (9.1 KiB)

To disable, just do the following:

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-list
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              active     yes

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-destroy default
Network default destroyed

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# virsh net-undefine default
Network default has been undefined

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# service libvirtd restart

                                                           [  OK  ]

virbr0 is now gone. Verify it by running ifconfig -a

[root@centosprod1 iptables-1.4.7]# ifconfig

apu library not found

I'm compiling mod_security to patch with apache. However, I encountered the following when patching mod_security with the command apxs on the apache.

checking for libapu config script... no
configure: *** apu library not found.
configure: error: apu library is required

Solution:
Install apr-util-devel. I install it via yum and this resolves the error.

yum -y install apr-util-devel
