Depending on your Distro (you never said what one you're using) you need to install the development tools (gcc, g++, cpp, etc etc). You should be able to find these in your package manager somewhere.

Khabi's correct. The configure error simply states that you have no C compiler on your system. Easy enough to install with any package manager. Be sure to install the development libraries also. And is there a reason that you're compiling Apache? Yes, you can really tweak and optimize it that way, but usually a package (yum, apt, etc.) install, or an install of the LAMP system, will perform just fine.
