error in apache installation. "checking whether the C compiler works... no" "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" (Apache Users)

Hi,

I am installing latest apache http server in Linux64 bit system. I have done the below steps but gettting the error "checking whether the C compiler works... no" "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" even though there are gcc, gcc++ packages already installedin Linux.

steps are -

1. downloaded and extracted http-2.4.9.tar.gz and made /u03/backup/Apps_stage/apache/http-2.4.9.tar.gz/ folder

2. downloaded apr-1.5.0.tar.gz, apr-util-1.5.3.tar.gz and extracted them into /u03/backup/Apps_stage/apache/http-2.4.9.tar.gz/srclib/

3. Inside srclib/ folder renamed the apr-*** and apr-util*** folders to apr/ and apr-util/ respectively

4. Ran and tried the below commands one at a time:

./configure --prefix=/u03/apache/ --with-included-apr --enable-so

./configure --prefix=/u03/apache/ --enable-so

./configure --prefix=/u03/apache/

5.All above commnds gives the error -

6.I checked with eOS guy that there are gcc, gcc++ packages already installedin Linux.

Can you suggest why it fails ?
