I can’t install memcache (not memcached) extension on MacOs Catalina, php 7.2

checking for the location of zlib... configure: error: memcache support requires ZLIB. Use --with-zlib-dir=<DIR> to specify prefix where ZLIB include and library are located
ERROR: `/private/tmp/pear/temp/memcache/configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php-config --enable-memcache-session=yes' failed

I try

pecl install memcache --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include/zlib.h

But

Attempting to discover channel "--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include"...
Attempting fallback to https instead of http on channel "--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include"...
unknown channel "--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include" in "--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include/zlib.h"
invalid package name/package file "--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include/zlib.h"

  1. You’re close… Your path should not to be the header file but to the directory. Also, pecl install doesn’t pass the command line parameter in the script down to the ./configure command so you have to do it yourself:

    pecl download memcache
    open memcache-4.0.5.2.tgz  
    cd memcache-4.0.5.2/memcache-4.0.5.2
    phpize
    ./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11
    make
    sudo make install

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

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