pecl installs for previous php version

Question

I've upgraded my MacBook to Mavericks and ruined my development environment. The problem I have right now is that my pear/pecl still tries to install for my previous (5.3) version of PHP instead of version 5.4.

PHP version:

$ php -v
PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2013 02:03:38) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.2.3, Copyright (c) 2002-2013, by Derick Rethans

Pear

$ pear version
PEAR Version: 1.9.4
PHP Version: 5.4.17
Zend Engine Version: 2.4.0
Running on: Darwin MBP-retina.local 13.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.0.0: Thu Sep 19 22:22:27 PDT2013; root:xnu-2422.1.72~6/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

If I install apc with

$ sudo pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.1.13.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.1.13.tgz (171,591 bytes)

Configuring for:

Zend Extension Api No:   220090626
...

install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/APC-3.1.13
Extension apc enabled in php.ini

And enable the apc module in my php.ini php -v changes to this:

$ php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/apc.so' - dlopen(/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/apc.so, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

    with Xdebug v2.2.3, Copyright (c) 2002-2013, by Derick Rethans

So pecl installs my apc extension in /usr/local/Cellar/php53/5.3.26/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626 and php expects it in /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/.

Simply making a symlink gives the following error:

$ php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: apc: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626
PHP    compiled with module API=20100525
These options need to match
 in Unknown on line 0

    with Xdebug v2.2.3, Copyright (c) 2002-2013, by Derick Rethans

So that's not a solution.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? I really don't have a clue what is going on here.

Answer 1

None of the other answers (as yet) seem to address having multiple "co-installable" PHP versions while wanting to build a given extension for all installed PHP versions.

To illustrate the scenario in which I find myself (I'm using the Ondrej Surý PHP PPAs for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):

root@localhost:~# ls -lah /usr/bin/*php*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root     11K Apr 19 12:50 dh_php
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    3.1K Apr  5  2016 dh_phpcomposer
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    5.4K Apr  5  2016 dh_phppear
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root      21 Jul 24 00:44 php -> /etc/alternatives/php
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.3M Jul  6 10:04 php5.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.3M Jul  6 10:04 php7.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.4M Aug  4 14:22 php7.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root      28 Jul 24 00:44 php-config -> /etc/alternatives/php-config
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.3K Jul  6 10:03 php-config5.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.1K Jul  6 10:03 php-config7.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.1K Aug  4 14:21 php-config7.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root      24 Jul 24 00:44 phpize -> /etc/alternatives/phpize
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.7K Jul  6 10:03 phpize5.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.6K Jul  6 10:03 phpize7.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    4.6K Aug  4 14:21 phpize7.1

pecl install extension-name does the job for PHP 7.1, but not the others.

The other anwsers indicate that while it's possible to uninstall/reinstall php*-dev, I'd much rather not, given the intentional, co-installed PHP versions on the system.

One solution is to build the extension for each version present on the system.

This snippet demonstrates building with PHP 5.6, but I've done the same for 7.0 and 7.1 and the steps are the same.

This example demonstrates cloning the extension from a Git repository, but one may use any source directory.

(# indicates that you must be root or use sudo)

# apt-get install php-dev

# cd ~

# git clone https://github.com/vendor/extension-name

# cd ./extension-name

# phpize5.6

# ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config5.6

# make clean

# make

# make install

# ln -s /etc/php/5.6/mods-available/extension-name.ini /etc/php/5.6/fpm/conf.d/20-extension-name.ini

# service php5.6-fpm reload

Answer 2

The solution was pretty simple. I had to make modifications to my pecl config. It turned out that these two command did the trick:

sudo pear config-set php_ini /etc/php.ini
sudo pecl config-set bin_dir /usr/bin/

pecl used the wrong phpize. There were two versions of the phpize. The same counts for my php.ini file.

Answer 3

In my case, I was attempting to install Gearman.

pecl install gearman would install it incorrectly.

php -i would show:

PHP Extension => 20100525

Yet pecl would install using:

PHP Api Version:         20090626

After changing my config settings to use:

First Fix

sudo pecl config-set php_ini /etc/php.ini
sudo pecl config-set php_bin /usr/bin/php5

I noticed that I would still get

WARNING: php_bin /usr/bin/php5 appears to have a suffix 5, but config variable php_suffix does not match

You can resolve this by using the config setting:

Additional Fix

sudo pear config-set php_suffix 5

---

Why was this a problem?

For me, I got into this problem because I added a custom PPA and reinstalled PHP. This meant that my previous install of php5-dev was out of sync.

You if you ever get into the same situation, you might just want to run..

apt-get remove php5-dev
pecl uninstall <extensionname>
apt-get install php5-dev
apt-get remove php5-pear
apt-get install php5-pear
pecl install <extensionname>

Alternatively, you can download the source and run phpize.

Answer 4

There is a way to switch PHP-Version on Ubuntu:

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6

Answer 5

Better to reinstall phpize extensions as it will be used by PECL and not make hacks.

Do next (php 5.5 => php 5.6 example) :

sudo apt-get remove php5-dev
sudo apt-get install php5.6-dev 

(you can change 5.6 to version you need)

Then:

sudo pecl install extensionname
