Error installing php mongo driver after php5 upgrade

Question

I upgraded my php5 version from 5.4 to 5.6 this way (debian 7.9) :

I added

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all

to my /etc/apt/source.list file, and then :

apt-get update
apt-get install php5

All is running fine :

php --version
PHP 5.6.16-1

But i need to upgrade my php mongodb driver, and i got the following error :

pecl install mongodb 

331 source files, building

I have openssl and libssl-dev installed. Any idea ?

Answer 1

I had same problem and following command worked for me.

apt-get install pkg-config

Answer 2

I had the same error. I installed the following dependencies before installing mongodb

sudo apt-get install -y autoconf g++ make openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libsasl2-dev libpcre3-dev
sudo pecl install mongodb
