I am attempting to set up W3 Total Cache with my Rackspace Cloudfiles account acting as a CDN.
I go on the General page to enable the CDN the Rackspace option is grey and cannot be selected.
Last night I moved to a new server and there seems to be missing software to run the CDN option. I'm seeing stuff about the dev edition of php being required in "mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_install" but the instructions to deal with that seem to be for non-debian OSes and I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and "aptitude install php-devel" doesn't appear to be a valid package.
Additional searching (search 2 hours... post for help... search 3 minutes--bingo) yielded this solution which seems to be working:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
or
sudo aptitude install php5-curl
@cbmc, no further issues then?
I am still having problems, I can't seem to get the CDN working again with W3 Super Cache. The images are uploaded into the container, it's enabled, but then images and other files loaded into the CDN don't load for site visitors.
I disabled it for the moment, will try again when work is less crazy.
Did you manually create the container or did you do it using W3TC's options?
