I need to get APC running for a Drupal install of mine. I found a fairly concise guide at http://blog.4rev.net/2009-09/installing-apc-accelerator-into-php5-fedora-core-11/ for installing on FC11, only, I am using FC12. I figured I would give it a shot.

I was able to run the following commands successfully - and yum installed fc12 versions of everything in the FC11 guide.

 yum install php-pear

    yum install php-devel httpd-devel

    yum groupinstall ‘Development Tools’

    yum groupinstall ‘Development Libraries’

Then, I tried pecl install apc. Everything looked good until to got to the end, where it outputted the following error.

/var/tmp/APC/php_apc.c: In function ‘zif_apc_compile_file’:
/var/tmp/APC/php_apc.c:881: warning: unused variable ‘eg_class_table’
/var/tmp/APC/php_apc.c:881: warning: unused variable ‘eg_function_table’
/var/tmp/APC/php_apc.c: At top level:
/var/tmp/APC/php_apc.c:959: error: duplicate ‘static’
make: *** [php_apc.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

Some people have had success with installing apc-beta, but that didn't work for me..

Any suggestions? Is there something I missed that is critical in the FC12 version?
