Requirements
On my Debian Squeeze 64-bit I also had to install the package "apache2-threaded-dev" with this command "apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev". Afterwards I did "pecl install apc" and everything seemed to work fine.
Installation
This » PECL extension is not bundled with PHP.
Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » http://pecl.php.net/package/apc.
A DLL for this PECL extension is currently unavailable. See also the building on Windows section.
Note: On Windows, APC needs a temp path to exist, and be writable by the web server. It checks the TMP, TEMP and USERPROFILE environment variables in that order and finally tries the WINDOWS directory if none of those are set.
Note: For more in-depth, highly technical implementation details, see the » developer-supplied TECHNOTES file .

Pay attention to the fact that installing php-apc package gives you APC version 3.1.3p1, which is according to http://pecl.php.net/package/APC UNSTABLE. If you want the latest STABLE edition (3.1.9 by now), you should use 'sudo pecl install apc' instead.

When installing on Plesk and cPanel machines, I get the following error message:
[root@web1 ~]# pecl install apc

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
ERROR: `phpize' failed
The problem is caused by the /tmp/ filesystem being mounted noexec, which keeps any programs on /tmp/ from being allowed to be executed, which breaks the install script.
To remount /tmp/ as executable, use:
[root@web1 ~]# mount -o remount,exec,suid /tmp
The it should install correctly.
After the install is done, remount the /tmp/ filesystem with the noexec permissions reset.
[root@web1 ~]# mount -o remount,noexec,nosuid /tmp

Installed successfully on different FreeBSD servers, with mmap and IPC semaphores, but I got an error on a 64 bits box :
apc_sem_create: semctl(65536,...) failed: Result too large
I had to increase maximum semaphore value :
# sysctl kern.ipc.semvmx=131068
kern.ipc.semvmx: 32767 -> 131068
# echo "kern.ipc.semvmx=131068" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
Works like a charm.

sudo apt-get install php-apc
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Was enough for me. I use Ubuntu Server 8.10.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
apt-get install php-pear
apt-get install php5-dev
apt-get install make
apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev

apache2-prefork-dev is necessary for not having the
