Hi @olekstumedia,

Exactly, you need to install the libmodsecurity before proceed with nginx compilation. The ModSecurity library can be found at:
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/tree/v3/master

The ones in Ubuntu repo will not work right?

root@host:~/rebuildnginx/nginx-1.11.4# apt-cache search modsecurity
libapache2-mod-security2 - Tighten web applications security for Apache
libapache2-modsecurity - Dummy transitional package
modsecurity-crs - modsecurity's Core Rule Set

For those who are building ModSecurity Library on Ubuntu this commands will be useful. I have not filter them and some packages just does not exists but finally I got everything installed
