sh bad interpreter: Permission denied

So I'm trying to install APC, a simple pecl install apc should be enough but it fails with the following:

[root@www3]# pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.0.19.tgz ...

For security reasons the /tmp filesystem is mounted with the noexec flag:-

[www4 19:24:12]-(~)# mount | grep \/tmp
/dev/sda2 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Remount the drive with the exec flag:
[www4 19:28:46]-(~)#
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /tmp -oremount,rw,exec,nosuid,nodev
[www4 19:28:52]-(~)# mount | grep \/tmp
/dev/sda2 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)

Ahh, thank you! That's exactly the explanation I was looking for.
