cannot install APC with PECL & PHP 5.5.9

Question

I have installed PHP(5.5.9) via Homebrew(0.9.5), and I can't seem to install any packages with pecl. For instance when I try to install APC with sudo pecl install apc I got the following string returned:

WARNING: php_bin /usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.9/bin/php appears to have a 
suffix 55/5.5.9/bin/php, but config variable php_suffix does not match

If I just ignore the warning and proceed, at the end it fails with:

2 warnings and 6 errors generated.
make: *** [apc_compile.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

I have make installed via homebrew as well as pecl.

Answer 1

APC is outdated, and has never been updated/released for PHP 5.5.
Since version 5.5, PHP comes with it's own opcache.
