How to install memcached module for [email protected] on MacOS High Sierra?

I have the issue installing a memcached’s module for php 7.1. I use MacOS High Sierra and [email protected] installing using homebrew. During the installation of memcached module for php using command

pecl install memcached

I received the errors:

checking for zlib location… configure: error: memcached support
requires ZLIB. Use –with-zlib-dir= to specify the prefix where
ZLIB headers and library are located ERROR:
`/private/tmp/pear/install/memcached/configure
–with-php-config=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php-config –with-libmemcached-dir’ failed

But I have installed zlib. I can’t find a way how to install memcached module after the changes in homebrew repository.

    1. pecl bundle memcached
    2. Change to the directory it output
    3. phpize
    4. Make sure libmemcached and zlib are installed (brew install libmemcached zlib)
    5. Get the zlib directory (brew list zlib)
    6. ./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/ (replace the zlib path with the one from the previous command)
    7. make
    8. make install
    9. Add the extension line in your php.ini file (ex. change the paths to match what make install output. I added this to my /usr/local/etc/php/7.4/conf.d directory in a file called ext-memcached.ini

    [memcached]
    extension=memcached.so

    1. Verify you installed the module php -m should show you memcached in the outputted list

    You can use env variable PHP_ZLIB_DIR to tell it where zlib is.

    PHP_ZLIB_DIR=/usr/local/opt/zlib pecl install memcached

    Full installation.

    brew install zlib
yes no | PHP_ZLIB_DIR=$(brew --prefix zlib) pecl install memcached

    To install memcached prerequisite

    • Install pkg-config and zlib using brew install pkg-config zlib
    • Check Php Version for which you installing should be linked. php -v tells you which php version is active for cli.
    • pecl config-get ext_dir will tell you which version configuration files are set.
    • Get configuration path for zlib that is required while installing brew list zlib
      Install using sudo pecl install memcached
      While installing it will ask zlib directory [no] : in that paste zlib configuration path /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11 example zlib directory [no] : /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11

    Restart your php and nginx/apache2
    brew services restart [email protected]
    brew services restart nginx
    brew services restart apache2

    You can check extension is installed or not by using php -m.

    Note : Am using MacPro M1 silicon chip notebook. Installed using homebrew. struggle a lot to fix this issue.
