make fails trying to install mongo php driver on Centos 6

Question

I've tried two different ways to install the mongodb php driver.

• Compiling it based on directions from http://andres.jaimes.net/876/setup-mongo-php-module-centos-6/
• Issuing (as root) pecl install mongo

The server is Centos 6.6 (32-bit) that was originally a 6.5 virtualbox image that (following an update) now calls itself 6.6

The error seems to start here:

I've checked other (seemingly related) Stack posts, such as MongoDB PHP driver can't installed Centos 6 cloud server - but it didn't seem to help or apply. Any ideas? Thanks.

Looks like you don't have the headers installed for OpenSSL.

Try yum install openssl-devel (or use sudo if not root) then recompile.
