Install PECL on Mac OS X 10.6

Question

Is there any way to install PHP:s PECL handler on Mac OS X 10.6, to be used with the bundled PHP?

Answer 1

Better late than never, but if you are like me and installed PHP directly from php.net (instead of using something like Homebrew or Port, then you can simply follow the following link to install Pear and PECL:

We need PEAR! For some reason, it's not set up ready to on Lion, but the install phar file is here, so we just need to run it.

cd /usr/lib/php sudo php install-pear-nozlib.phar  Edit: /etc/php.ini and find the line: ;   include_path = ".:/php/includes"  and change it to:   include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php/pear" sudo pear channel-update pear.php.net sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net sudo pear upgrade-all 

It worked fine for me.

Try installing it via:

bash <(curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh) 

---

Or install by hand:

curl -s -o /tmp/packager.tgz http://php-osx.liip.ch/packager/packager.tgz sudo tar -C /usr/local  -xzf /tmp/packager.tgz 

Then install packer:

sudo /usr/local/packager/packager.py install 5.4-frontenddev 

otherwise update it via:

sudo /usr/local/packager/packager.py install tools-frontenddev # Ignore
