I am still new with linux and I am trying to learn it so could someone please help.

Thanks,

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.
