Hi, I was thrilled to find your guide here... just what I was looking for!!

So, I've followed it to the letter, with the exception of using the drupal repositories for 7.21 especially as the connection to yamagata-u.ac.jp kept failing...
(another small issue at "sudo cp -a . ../public_html/" ... I had to first create the 'public_html' directory myself)

The main issue: got all the way to issuing the "sudo pecl install apc" command and am getting an error I don't know how to deal with or even interpret [everything else looked fine, so I'm just posting the last few lines of output which contained the error]:

running: make
