phpize Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php
stack: PHP 5.4.23, php-fpm, nginx 1.4.x, centos 6.5
I was trying to install xdebug, had to run phpize command.
I have php5-devl already installed and pecl command works
When I ran the command, it gave me the following error output:
# phpize
Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php
The php-devel package is required for use of this command.
How to fix this error?
Answer
I think you have not installed php-pear . I am not seeing it in that link.
You can do it by yum install php-pear
Info
You can install xdebug also using these steps
1) Install PHP’s devel package for PHP commands execution
yum install php-devel
Make sure you also have php-pear package installed
yum install php-pear
2) Install GCC and GCC C++ compilers to compile Xdebug extension yourself.
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
3) Compile Xdebug
pecl install Xdebug
4) Find the php.ini file using
`locate php.ini`
And add the following line
[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
5) Restart Apache
service httpd restart
6) Test if it works – create test.php with the following code
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
