pecl install apc isn't working. shtool does not exist

apc, pecl, php

Solution

Remove noexec flag from /var/tmp directory use the following command

mount -o remount,exec /var/tmp/

You can use the same command to add the noexec flag back

mount -o remount,noexec /var/tmp/

Problem

I am an absolute newbie…didn't learn about SSh till an hour ago and got my first VPS 2 hours ago. Still learning! So I'm installing MediaWiki and need to add APC extension. But having a lil trouble. Any ideas/tips? ``` [root@www ~]# pecl install apc` downloading APC-3.1.13.tgz ... Starting to download APC-3.1.13.tgz (171,591 bytes) .....................................done: 171,591 bytes 55 source files, building running: phpize Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20090626 Zend Module Api No: 20090626 Zend Extension Api No: 220090626 shtool at '/var/tmp/APC/build/shtool' does not exist or is not executable.
