When I try to install APC via pecl install APC-3.1.5 or even pecl install APC I get following error when the package comes to the make command:

I installed all possible missing things:

yum install php-devel httpd-devel yum groupinstall ‘Development Tools’ yum groupinstall ‘Development Libraries’

And still nothing.

Try 

yum install pcre-devel

before installing APC.

On Debian use

aptitude install libpcre3-dev

instead.

I would compile from source. Make sure you delete anything that the package installers left behind. You probably have old extension directories laying around from older php versions. rm -rf them and their contents so you wont have any confusion.

cd ~ mkdir setups cd setups wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.1.9.tgz tar -xvf APC-3.1.9.tgz cd APC-3.1.9 phpize ./configure --enable-apc --enable-apc-mmap --with-apxs --with-php-config=/usr/local/bin/php-config make

For the config= argument, run which php, and add -config to the result

If you get this error (Same as one you posted)

In file included from /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:38: /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:18: error: pcre.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:38: /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:45: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before '' token /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:46: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before '' token /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:52: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'pcre' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:362: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'pcre' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c: In function 'apc_regex_compile_array': /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:419: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'preg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:419: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'preg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:420: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'nreg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:420: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'nreg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c: In function 'apc_regex_match_array': /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:452: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'preg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:452: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'preg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:453: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'nreg' /usr/local/src/APC-3.1.5/apc.c:453: error: 'apc_regex' has no member named 'nreg' make: *** [apc.lo] Error 1

Then you have to install pcre and make sure it's from the / directory or it will not install.

yum install pcre-devel make make install

  • If you get a warning about the --with-apxs flag, you can ignore it. Commented May 28, 2012 at 21:00

it looks like you are trying to install APC on a system running PHP < 5.2.x. Version 3.1 of APC requires 5.2.x. I'm assuming your running CentOS 5.5 which ships with PHP 5.1.x.

try compiling and installing APC 3.0.19 from http://pecl.php.net/package/APC. We have had success deploying APC 3.0 on our CentOS servers.

In Ubuntu:

aptitude install libpcre3-dev

And then:

pecl install apc
