Your problem is not with Apache itself, but it seems like you are missing some development packages. Install build-essential from the repositories and then try building apache.

What's in the logfile?

Are you working as root or a normal user? Try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

[aby0007]

root(at d rate )atul:/home/atul# apt-get install build-essential

edited it because cant post urls

[daark.child]

Without seeing the entire error message its difficult to help. Post the url here. Instead of using http://someurl , do hxxp://someurl.
