Using pecl to install the Mongodb driver on OS X El Capitan (v10.11.1)

I am trying to install the php mongo driver for OS X. I tried to follow these instructions to no avail.

$ which pecl → /usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.13_2/bin/pecl

$ sudo pecl install mongo full build results here , but the problem is the error:

 In file included from /private/tmp/pear/install/mongo/io_stream.c:34: /private/tmp/pear/install/mongo/contrib/php-ssl.h:33:10: fatal error: 'openssl/evp.h' file not found #include <openssl/evp.h>

My Xcode command line tools are updated (I used $ xcode-select --install ).

I am sure how to solve this problem.

I managed to get around this by installing OpenSSL using Homebrew ( as suggested here ):

 $ brew install openssl $ brew link openssl --force

Then

 $ sudo pecl install mongodb

Do it

 $ cd /usr/local/include $ ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl

I recommend using http://phpbrew.imtqy.com/phpbrew/ for this type of thing. This allows you to easily install any extensions into any required php version.

When installing a new version of php, I usually follow the log during compilation. There may be dependencies that need to be installed first. Also, make sure you have an updated version of homebrew installed.

You need to disable the mechanism without the Mac OSX El Capitán roots:

  • Download from Cmd-R
  • Open terminal
  • Type csrutil disable
  • Reboot

On Mac, you need to install Xcode, and create a symlink for openssl comes with Xcode, i.e.

 cd /usr/include; sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift-migrator/sdk/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/openssl
