Question

Install pdo_pgsql on Cent OS 5 got error!

Asked by: nguyenlocduy

Hi,

I'm installing pdo_pgsql module on my server using 'pecl install pdo_pgsql' and get the following problem:

the phpize failed error seems to indicate you need to install php5-dev first.
Some info can be found here http://gnuski.blogspot.com/2009/08/installing-php-extensions-with-pecl-on.html
also could be issues with the tmp mount. Info found: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=562817
the solution was to run mount -o remount,exec,suid /tmp

Let me know if this help.

When it comes to PECL/PEAR on a CentOS server, make sure the do the following commands as 'root':

'yum install php-devel zlib zlib-devel'

Then you should be able to do 'pecl install pdo_pgsql'.

@mwecomputers: followed your instruction and saw that the packages already installed. It does not work. Thanks.

TheNautican:
Both 2 possibilities is not correct, I worked around with them all but the problem still persists. Thanks also.

The 'phpize' command is part of the php-devel RPM package.

Please post the output of the following commands:

yum list php-*

yum install php-devel

All else fails, try 'yum clean all', 'yum update', 'yum install php-pgsql' then try the 'pecl install pdo_pgsql'.

Once thing I noticed is that you are pointing to the Atomic (ASL) repository. The PHP 5.2.11 build they are using is their own build out/compiled and not one community supported.

 

by: nguyenlocduyPosted on 2009-10-30 at 08:38:50ID: 25704018

Run the above commands. It updated and installed some packages, but then still got the same problem at 'pecl install pdo_pgsql'. I think the problem is because of known bug in PEAR which cause this error:

ERROR: `phpize' failed

I read that in this url http://kai.mactane.org/blog/2009/05/11/workaround-for-pearpecl-failure-with-message-error-phpize-failed/

But I don't have enough expertise to understand and fix those. Can you help?

 

by: mwecomputersPosted on 2009-10-30 at 08:54:16ID: 25704182

To see if this the case with your environment, please post the output of the following command (preferably as a text file attachment -- since it will be rather extensive):

'php -i'

Also, what happens if you do 'phpize -v'?

 

by: nguyenlocduyPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:29:53ID: 25704575

Hi,

Luckily I found the website here http://systembash.com/content/problem-installing-pecl-php-extensions-while-tmp-is-secured/ which tells about the tmp directory locked. Hence I just do 'mount -oremount,exec /tmp' and run 'pecl install pdo_pgsql' again. And the problem was solved.

Thanks for both, who are really helping me.

 

by: nguyenlocduyPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:33:08ID: 31647070

Share the point for both, hope that's fair for you. Thanks again.
