I want to install the v8js extension for PHP5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 but can't make it working.
When I try to install the v8js extension version 0.2.0 (latest) with PECL, I have this message:
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
If I try to install an old version, I have a compilation error. This message is very similar to my issue: Install v8js for php on ubuntu
How can I fix this issue?
EDIT: I couldn't install it on Ubuntu 14.04 with PHP5.5, even with a PHP downgrade with PHPbrew to PHP 5.4. However, using Ubuntu 12.04 with PHP 5.4 works great. I didn't try the downgrade from PHP 5.5 to 5.4 on Ubuntu 12.04.
in case you can't find libv8-dev or libv8-dbg, you can find the correct version by run command
~$ apt-cache search libv8
libv8-3.14-dbg - V8 JavaScript engine - debugging symbols
libv8-3.14-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for 3.14 branch
libv8-3.14.5 - V8 JavaScript engine - runtime library
libv8-dev - V8 JavaScript engine - development files for latest branch
then you can run
~$ sudo apt-get install libv8-3.14-dev libv8-3.14-dbg g++ cpp
then you can try to install v8js via pecl by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0
if that command return error like this
configure: error: libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/v8js/configure --with-v8js' failed
you can try to install v8js-0.1.3 instead by running
~$ sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3
then edit your php.ini to add v8js extension
~$ echo "extension=v8js.so" >> /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Open your terminal/console
sudo apt-get install libv8-dev libv8-dbg g++ cpp
Make an update sudo apt-get update
Try sudo pecl install v8js-0.2.0 (or other version i.e.: sudo pecl install v8js-0.1.3)
Edit your php.ini (Check: Where is my php.ini file?) file by adding: extension=v8js.so.
Restart server
If it the extension still doesn't work, try to edit /etc/php5/conf.d/v8js.ini and add extension=v8js.so and restart server again.
Hope this helps.
These other answers work well and I used v8js-0.1.3 for the past 1.5 years but after needing to upgrade to PHP 7 I needed a better solution as v0.1.3 doesn't compile with PHP 7 (something to do with php_smart_str being renamed to php_smart_string).
After a couple hours of frustrating research and compiling libv8 myself, I didn't want to have to go through this whole process on every server I provisioned.
Anyway, I found this site which points you to a launchpad PPA site that provides a couple different ubuntu packages with the 5.1 and 5.2 libv8 libraries.
I ran these commands (please don't add repositories of 3rd party devs without understanding the risks).
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pinepain/libv8-5.2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libv8-5.2-dev
sudo pecl install v8js-1.1.0
(Thanks #JeyKeu for suggesting to add "apt-get update" to these commands)
I couldn't get v8js-1.3.0 or 1.2.0 to build, but 1.1.0 worked well. I checked the changelog and found that the latest updates are not necessary in my circumstance anyway.
I have installed PHP PEAR in ubuntu using
sudo apt-get install php-pear
After successfull installation first time.When I try to run it in terminal, it shows error:
The program 'pear' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install php-pear
I again tried to install it. Then it shows that
php-pear is already the newest version.
I have checked many questions on SO. In every question it is mentioned to locate pear etc. But above mentioned error is not solved.
I even tried installing pear many times with sudo and running it. It gives same error.
Please help to sort it out.
Package php-pear in Ubuntu 12.04 only works with PHP <= 5.2
For PHP >= 5.3 use
wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
php go-pear.phar
Just remove PEAR and PHP, then start from the beginning. I hope this solves your problem.
I'm trying to install Facebook PHP SDK with Composer. This is what I get
$ composer install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Installation request for facebook/php-sdk dev-master -> satisfiable by facebook/php-sdk[dev-master].
- facebook/php-sdk dev-master requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.
Problem is, I have curl extension enabled (uncommented in php.ini). When I run phpinfo(), it says it's enabled.
Only clue I have is that when I run $ php -m, 'curl' line is missing but I don't know what to do about it.
I have wamp 2.4 on Win8 and I'm running composer in cmd.exe.
This is caused because you don't have a library php5-curl installed in your system,
On Ubuntu its just simple run the line code below, in your case on Xamp take a look in Xamp documentation
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
For anyone who uses php7.0
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
For those who uses php7.1
sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl
For those who use php7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl
For those who use php7.3
sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl
For those who use php7.4
sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl
For those who use php8.0
sudo apt-get install php8.0-curl
Or simply run below command to install by your version:
sudo apt-get install php-curl
This worked for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519176
After installing composer using the command curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php just run a sudo apt-get update then reinstall curl with sudo apt-get install php5-curl. Then composer's installation process should work so you can finally run php composer.phar install to get the dependencies listed in your composer.json file.
on php7 run for example:
> sudo apt-get install php-curl
> sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
for every missing extension. Then:
> sudo apt-get update
and finally (in the project's root folder):
> composer install
As Danack said in comments, there are 2 php.ini files. I uncommented the line with curl extension in the one in Apache folder, which is php.ini used by the web server.
Composer, on the other hand, uses php for console which is a whole different story. Php.ini file for that program is not the one in Apache folder but it's in the PHP folder and I had to uncomment the line in it too. Then I ran the installation again and it was OK.
I ran into the same issue trying to install Dropbox SDK.
CURL was indeed enabled on my system but this meant by the php.ini in the wamp\bin\apache folder.
I simply had to manually edit the php.ini situated in wamp\bin\php, uncomment the extension=php_curl.dll line, restart Wamp and it worked perfectly.
Why there are those 2 php.ini and only one is used is still a mystery for me...
Hope it's helpul to someone!
I had this problem after upgrading to PHP5.6. My answer is very similar to Adriano's, except I had to run:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
Notice the "5.6". Installing php5-curl didn't work for me.
For anyone who encounters this issue on Windows i couldn't find my answer on google at all.
I just tried running composer require ext-curl and this worked.
Alternatively add the following in your composer.json file:
"require": {
"ext-curl": "^7.3"
}
According to https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/2119 you could extend your local composer.json to state that it provides the extension (which it doesn't really do - that's why you shouldn't publicly publish your package, only use it internally).
I ran into a similar issue when trying to get composer to install some dependencies.
It turns out the .dll my version of Wamp came with had a conflict, I am guessing, with 64 bit Windows.
This url has fixed curl dlls: http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
Scroll down to the section that says: Fixed Curl Extensions.
I downloaded "php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip". I just overwrote the dll inside the wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext directory with the dll that was in the zip file and composer worked again.
I am running 64 bit Windows 8.
Hope this helps.
if use wamp go to:
wamp\bin\php\php.5.x.x\php.ini
find:
;extension=php_curl.dll
remove (;)
Enable in php 7 try below command
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
Not sure why an answer with Linux commands would get so many up votes for a Windows related question, but anyway...
If phpinfo() shows Curl as enabled, yet php -m does NOT, it means that you probably have a php-cli.ini too. run php -i and see which ini file loaded. If it's different, diff it and reflect and differences in the CLI ini file. Then you should be good to go.
Btw download and use Git Bash instead of cmd.exe!
I have Archlinux with php 7.2, which has Curl integrated, so no amount of configuration voodoo would make Composer see ext-curl, that PHP could see and work with happily. Work around is to use Composer with --ignore-platform-reqs.
eg composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Reference = https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1426
try install php5-curl by using below snippet.
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
if it won't work try below code i m sure it will work fine.
sudo apt-get install php-curl
for me it worked... all the best :)
In my case I moved from PHP5 to PHP7 and I ve got this error,
Simply go to your /bin/php/php7/php.ini , then uncomment extension=php_curl.dll and restart your server, re-run your composer install.
If you getting error like php7.2-curl doesn't have installable candidate or not locate any package or dependencies is php7.2-common Or libcurl3 Do this
You have to tackle in mature way. Install aptitude these ubuntu package manager will finds all dependencies, and will install one by one.
apt-get install aptitude
Now you have to check if aptitude can download it or not if download it follow instructions
sudo aptitude install php7.2-curl
If you have gotten any error like this
E: Unable to locate package php7.2-curl
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.2-curl'
Any type on error i'm not talking about proper these errors
Try to add php package again
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
Now try this command
sudo aptitude install php7.2-curl
Aptitude will ask you you want to keep current version of all dependencies
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) php7.2-curl [Not Installed]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Type n then Enter
Aptitude will find all dependencies and ask you to install all package type
y
Again
y
Then
systemctl restart apache2
For centos of rhel
systemctl restart httpd
It will Not enabling PHP 7.2 FPM by default.
NOTICE: To enable PHP 7.2 FPM in Apache2 do
a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
a2enconf php7.2-fpm
This method is not only for this error you can find any of php apache2 or ubuntu system package solution using aptitude.
Upvote if you find your solution
If you are ubuntu, this will work for you.
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
I have a Debian server and I want to install the intl extension through pecl.
During the installation it asks me:
"Specify where ICU libraries and headers can be found [DEFAULT] :"
Here I've been trying several options, including leaving it empty to use DEFAULT, but I get the following error:
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See
'config.log' for more details. ERROR: '/tmp/pear/temp/intl/configure
--with-icu-dir=DEFAULT' failed
I've installed php5.3 with: make && make install.
I have already installed icu, but unlike php5.3, it was installed with apt-get (i don't know if this is important).
Any idea?
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, the following worked for me:
sudo apt-get install php5-intl
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Bam, warning gone! Hope this helps somebody in the future :)
You need to install libicu44 and libicu-dev:
apt-get install libicu44 libicu-dev
and after this you can install intl with pecl:
./pecl install intl
Note if using Ubuntu:
It lLooks like the first package libicu44 is not available, in which case just install libicu-dev and it will go through the dependencies and handle it for you. Seems to use libicu42 at the moment.
Same error:
/tmp/pear/temp/intl/collator/collator_class.c:92: error: duplicate 'static'
But when reading the intl native extension comments, I saw:
Debian Squeeze users can install the intl extension with:
sudo apt-get install php5-intl
first comment
The package works even with my old Ubuntu 8.04...
Installing g++ sudo apt-get install g++ before sudo ./pecl install intl did the trick for me.
I knew this sounded familiar; I had the same problem back in May 2008, discussed here:
http://old.nabble.com/ubuntu-7.10-pecl-install-intl-p17140873.html
Ed Batutis explained that "/usr" is the correct answer if you have icu-config at "/usr/bin/icu-config"; adjust accordingly if it is somewhere else.
However that didn't help for me. I described the solution for me here:
http://darrendev.blogspot.com/2008/05/install-php-pecl-intl-module-for-ubuntu.html
...which was basically to define the PHP_SETUP_ICU macro. That was supposed to be added in 5.2.4, so as you are using php 5.3 your problem ought to be something else.
I am trying to install pspell for PHP 5 in Ubuntu. I have installed the aspell library which is required to run pspell as shown here
I am not sure if there are any settings I need to change, etc.
When I try to execute the below mentioned line of code
$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");
I get an error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function pspell_new()
Any idea on what could be wrong ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
just do
sudo apt-get install libpspell-dev
sudo apt-get install php5-pspell
sudo apt-get install aspell-en
then restart your apache2 server with the following command
sudo service apache2 restart
it will be added automatically to your php.ini
you can try this example
For those using PHP 7.2 / Ubuntu 18.10, here is what I did to get PSPELL working:
sudo apt-get install php5-pspell
sudo apt-get install php-pspell
sudo apt-get install aspell-en
sudo apt-get install aspell-fr
sudo apt-get install aspell-de
sudo apt-get install aspell-es
sudo service apache2 restart
I use multiple languages, so included some of them in the example above. I believe EN is included by default.
"I have installed the aspell library which is required to run pspell as shown here"
that's if you compile your own PHP - did you recompile with pspell?
Note that this package just provides the API and data, you are getting an error becuase your PHP doesn't know how to interface with it.
If you're not into building your own code, the PHP extension is available as a package:
(NB this is JUST the PHP side of the service)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/dapper/php-pspell
C.
Have you configured php.ini to load the extension?
