Unable to install mongodb php driver on mac os 10.9

Question

After googling for about an hour can't find any solution that works for me. I'm on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Here is what the terminal says:

$ sudo pecl install mongo

Maybe someone has already encountered this problem and knows a solution?

Solution 1

After upgrading to OS 10.9 I run into same issue. Try installing command line developer tools

run

xcode-select --install

Solution 2

Here is how I solved this after installing Xcode:

cd /usr/include
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include/php

Solution 3

If the solution by Janis Lankovskis did not work out.. then it seems like your PHP installation is weirdly broken..

How did you install PHP in the first place?

The main problem here is the phpize command, which seems to exist but if failing miserably (I don't know why pecl continues.. that seems weird).

I'd re-install PHP, and make sure the header files are available - and in case you have multiple installations then make the path of the phpize command for your "currently active" PHP installation the first path in your $PATH

Welcome to stackoverflow.com. Unfortunately your question is not a good fit for this website, because stackoverflow is about programming problems only. There are, however, several other websites of the stackexchange network where your question would be much more appropriate.

@Philipp, although this is clearly to do with installing software, I don't agree that the question is not a good fit for this site. After all, the software being installed will be for development purposes on that platform, and it very relevant to other developers upgrading to Mavericks on Mac.

"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

[chopper]

I second @JohnJ.Camilleri. This worked perfectly for me after upgrading to OSX Mavericks

[Kell]

You my friend, are a god.

[firebear]

yes, It solved my problem in my OS 10.9.3! thanks a lot

ln: ./php: Operation not permitted

[Ricardo Martins]

Solved for me on Yosemite 10.10.1 too. Thank you.

[Hayk Aramyan]

@Ahmadster what if we get ./php: Operation not permitted ?

[Tim Truston]

"xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates"

This got me past the missing php.h file, but then it got stuck looking for openssl.h. Running the following command worked. sudo C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include pecl install mongodb
