make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

Whenever running make, I'm receiving this error. Tried "brew install php", tried compiling and installing from source. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Had a similar issue, using make clean before make solved this error.

Answer 2

If you used the homebrew-php repo's PHP formula, it's a known issue. The configure seems to ignore the libxml2 configure we pass to it (which uses the homebrew libxml2 formula) and persists in using the system libxml2 instead.

Make sure to check the Issues in the repo above, and post them there as well so we can provide support.

For this issue, see: homebrew-php#33
