Trying to install nginx-1.2.3:

1) wget www.nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.3.tar.gz
2) tar xzvf nginx-*
3) cd nginx-*

4) ./configure gives the following:

checking for OS
+ Linux 3.0.0-24-generic i686
checking for C compiler ... not found
./configure: error: C compiler gcc is not found

While gcc is installed:

/tmp/nginx-1.2.3$ gcc -v

What could be the problem?

Of course, you can install apt-get install nginx - but then how do I enable / disable certain modules. Maybe someone will tell?

By using make install you are automatically creating problems for yourself. Make .deb and install if not in apt. But in general

imho using apt-get it is possible to install modules. At the extreme, assemble the modules separately. Why make-up when you have cow superpower?

Recently I installed nginx on a server with Ubuntu 12.04 and also faced the need to add non-standard modules.
I found the solution on serverfault .
After using the proposed method, nginx will be installed on the system using apt-get (i.e. the system will be aware that nginx is installed on it).
First you need to install the tools for building deb packages:

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev

You also need to add the nginx repository in order to have access to the latest versions of the server:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

After adding the repository, you must manually add the repository with the sources in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-stable-lucid.list:
To update the list of packages with the new repositories, execute:

sudo apt-get update

These were the preparations. Next, the actual assembly of nginx with the necessary modules.
Go to the folder where you want to download the nginx sources and run:

apt-get source nginx

Build nginx dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep nginx

In the same folder where the nginx sources were downloaded, download the necessary modules and add links to them to the nginx configuration line in the file <директория с исходниками nginx>/nginx-1.2.3/debian/rules:

config.status.full: config.env.full config.sub config.guess
...
--add-module=path/to/nginx_uploadprogress_module

After that, we collect the package (s):

cd nginx-1.2.3 && dpkg-buildpackage -b

Note: This will build multiple packages as specified in debian/rules. You need to install only one, the one that is full (see below).
Install nginx:

sudo dpkg -i nginx-full_1.2.3-0ubuntu0ppa3~precise_amd64.deb

Although it looks intimidating, for the second or third time already on the machine.
Note: If after using this method to do apt-get upgrade, then nginx will be rearranged with the default config. Be careful.

1. Find out the path to gcc:
# which gcc
2. Write it explicitly:
# CC=/path/to/gcc ./configure --blah-blah-blah
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

@gricom

add a symlink to gcc in /usr/bin so you don't have to write the path each time

Tell us why the heck are you compiling it from source, and why the heck are you compiling php from source, gcc are you also compiling from source 8)?
Everything is generally installed from apt-get install or aptitude install.
