Installing Mongo Driver on AWS ami (php 5.6.9)

Question

Command:

sudo pecl install mongo

I am not sure why I get the missing phpize.m4 error and why I'm getting all these 'stat' errors. I've added the same version of php (5.6.9) to the /usr/lib64/php/5.6/ folder and ran ./configure which executes with no errors.

pear version

Answer 1

I had a few dependencies that were not properly installed.

Instead of php-devel I needed php56-devel for my specific version.

yum install php56-devel

yum install cyrus-sasl-devel (missing dependency once I ran the pecl install again)
