Today I try to install memcached on a server with centos 6. So basically when I hit
pecl install memcached
I get a lot of errors
checking for libmemcached location... configure: error: memcached support requires libmemcached 1.0.x. Use --with-libmemcached-dir= < DIR> to specify the prefix where libmemcached headers and library are located
ERROR: `/var/tmp/memcached/configure' failed
So if I try to install libmemcached by using
yum install libmemcached libmemcached-devel
I see that version of libmemcached will be smaller then 1.0.x
So to install it
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.15/+download/libmemcached-1.0.15.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libmemcached-1.0.15.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-1.0.15
./configure
make
make install
After this try
pecl install memcached
For me this was the working version.
