--with-apxs=no is not the correct syntax.  Either don't put --with-apxs there or use --without-apxs although that is rather redundant since the default is to not use it.

Oh wait, I see where the "no" comes from, so not bogus.

Fixed in CVS

Hi Rasmus, I am not sure which Package I try to use is out of date, since you seem to have fixed it somewhere. Am I using the wrong version of PHP, PECL or APC? I suppose PECL, since it's the PECL-Bugtracker :)

Here is what I get, trying to do the same. It fails for both answers to the question "Use apxs to set compile flags (if using APC with Apache)?": yes/no

It would be fine, if there is a simple solution to that. I am using Debian Sarge and installed everything using APT. 

How can I upgrade to the newest PECL version with APT?

Already tried:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Doing dpkg -l shows me

php-pear 5.1.2-0bpo1 PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository

Wrong version?

Thank you! Ingo

Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS.  Possible reasons:

1.  Perl is not installed;
2.  Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3.  'apxs' is not in your path.  Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of apxs follows
/tmp/tmpArfGXr/APC-3.0.10/configure: line 3196: apxs: command not found
configure: error: Aborting
ERROR: `/tmp/tmpArfGXr/APC-3.0.10/configure --enable-apc-mmap=yes --with-apxs' failed

Ok, forget about my last remark. I simply needed to 

apt-get install gpp

to fix the issue.

Sorry again,
Ingo

In my case I found that the file apxs (script) was wrong on the first line.
The first line was:

#!/path/to/perl/interpreter -w

But the correct is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

This solved the problem.

In CentOS 5, the way I solved this problem was by yum 
installing the httpd-devel package.

Command was:
"yum install httpd-devel.i386 -y"

Then I ran "pecl install APC" again and it worked just fine.
