"No acceptable C compiler found" when installing APC
What do I need to do to get APC to work correctly, it seems I dont have a c compiler in the correct place or something similar to that? Also once it is install how do I verify that it is running correctly?

Answer
Your system is missing a C compiler (or less likely, it cannot be found).
Likely you just need to do:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
for Debian or Ubuntu or
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
for Red Hat / CentOS.
By the way, your system's package manager can likely install APC.
