Installation failure – the mongodb driver for PHP on El Capitan

driverPHP

I tried to install the mongodb driver for PHP on El Capitan. While running sudo pecl install mongo, I get the error message:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install mongo

fatal error: openssl/evp.h: No such file or directory
 #include <openssl/evp.h>
                         ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [io_stream.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed
PEAR Version: 1.9.4 PHP Version: 5.5.28

I tried mongo driver install with PHP 5.5.26 also.

It should install the Openssl brew install openssl & brew link openssl --force

Using xcode-select --install to install commande line tools

It does work for me ^^

MacOS – PHP 5.4 Installation on Mountain Lion

I strongly suggest you use the package installer or use a full stack of configuration options when compiling, including the --prefix option so you know where the binary gets installed to.

I can only guess PHP 5.4 installed itself into /usr/local/bin or somewhere else and didn't just overwrite the default binary in /usr/bin. And you seem to have not modified your PATH variable to prioritise the bin directory of /usr/local with e.g. PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" in your .bash_profile. So, it's expected running php will still use /usr/bin/php and not /usr/local/bin/php.

Alternatively, you could just symlink the new php binary to /usr/bin/php, (delete or rename the default binary before that):

ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /usr/bin/php

Make TextMate run php from a different binary, not the original php

Under preferences, go into variables and update (or create) TM_PHP to point to your desired executable. E.g. I have /opt/local/bin/php because I'm using MacPorts.
