C Compiler Error

[clos]

Im having problems installing thing from their source code, for instance when I try to install apache, I cd to the directory and do a ./configure, the end result:

c-68-41-210-67:~/desktop/httpd-2.2.3 carlo$ ./configure

Someone told me that I need to install something from one of my OS X discs, that didn't come pre installed, I have the discs somewhere but it would be nice if someone knew a different way.

This happens whenever I try to do an install from the source code so its pretty agrivating.

Any help at all would be great.
