Not really answering the question(considering that I'm not really sure if the last reply answered it or not) at hand, but inline_c is infact a pear package. It is written in Pure PHP. It works by writing the C Code into a file, using standard php stream functions, and then using the program exectution functions to compile it using the standard system compiler, before calling dl() to load it as a module. Needless to say you need to have a compiler(usually gcc) installed for this to work. I think you need to have make installed as well. I'm assuming that you're doing this on *nix. If you're using an RPM based Linux distro, then make sure you install the php-devel package. This I believe is php-dev on debian based, but I'm not too sure. The best thing is probably to install PHP by from source. Then you're (almost) sure to have whatever you need.
