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?
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(); ?>
The problem got solved by the PHP version that is used in the system.
My PHP Version was 5.6
So by running the following command I solved the problem
yum install php56-devel
Where "56" is your version of PHP.
If you're on PHP 7 such as in my case just installing php-devel won't solve your problems, but you'll need to install some additional packages:
yum install php-devel pcre-devel gcc make
And then you'll be able to follow Harikrishnan steps to get xdebug working (if not yet configured).
My problem hasn't been solved using
yum install php-devel
But this helped me to solve the problem:
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55 install php55-php-devel
/usr/include/php?
