I downloaded and extracted the files for Apache 2 on my VPS system. When I try to run the “configure” script to configure the source tree, I get the following output:
[root@******* httpd-2.0.50]# ./configure

See `config.log’ for more details.
configure failed for srclib/apr
I think the problem centers around the error:
“configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH”
but I’m not sure what to do about it.
Any suggestions?
