Installing APC on 64bit Centos5, phpize error

This is probably a common question, but all answers on the internt have failed to help me. OK, so I want to install APC on my Centos5 server which is running php 5.3.5 and has all the following installed:

php-pear, php-devel, httpd-devel, pcre-devel and developer tools

but when i perfom either:

pecl install apc

or

pear install pecl/apc

I get a 'phpize' error. I also found an answer saying I could make /tmp executable but when I ran the code it said permission denied?

Anyone have a solution to this? I have no experience in linux or SSH by the way.

Or has anyone a really good tutorial on how to compile APC manually?

Any help would be greatly appr开发者_JAVA百科eciated!

Thanks

Dave

for anyone who has this issue, I found a very good tutorial on how to do this manually and it works first time!

You need to install the php5-dev package, which includes the phpize command. I don't know the command under CentOS, maybe

yum install php5-dev

Then

pecl install apc

should work without any error. I had the same error, and just managed to install it successfully under Debian.
