I struggled with this issue for a long time and found out that when you run configure, just pass it the path to the correct php-config tool.

In my case, it was

./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/zend/bin/php-config

... If you're unsure, run a locate php-config on your machine and find the right one amongst the different versions installed.

Hope this helps somebody in the future.

PS. My default php-config was set to 20090926 which is PHP 5.3. The one I manually entered as a param for ./configure was for PHP 5.4 (2010...)

I had a similar issue after upgrading from PHP 5 5 to PHP 5 6  The phpize and php-config libraries being used to compile the phalcon extension were still the ones from PHP 5 5  I had to run the command below    sudo apt-get install php5 6-dev   There will be a long stacktrace  the key information I saw was this   update-alternatives  using  usr bin php-config5 6 to provide  usr bin php-config  php-config  in auto mode update-alternatives  using  usr bin phpize5 6 to provide  usr bin phpize  phpize  in auto mode   I hope this helps someone

It s possible that the modules are installed  but your PHP ini still points to an old directory   Check the contents of  usr lib php extensions   In mine  there were two directories  no-debug-non-zts-20060613 and no-debug-non-zts-20060613   Around line 428 of your php ini  change   extension dir     usr local lib php extensions no-debug-non-zts-20060613   to  extension dir     usr local lib php extensions no-debug-non-zts-20090626   Then restart apache   This should resolve the issue

In my case  I used lnmp to install php with version 5 4 45  But maybe because I installed php5-dev after lnmp  which I guess is not necessary if you installed lnmp   my phpize and php-config both point to older version tools than php  I solved this by change the soft link of  etc alternatives phpize and  etc alternatives php-config to  usr local php bin phpize and  usr local php bin php-config  Hopes this is helpful

When you update the version of PHP  especially when going from version X Y to version X Z   you must update the PHP extensions as well    This is because PHP extensions are developped in C  and are  close  to the internals of PHP -- which means that  if the APIs of those internals change  the extension must be re-compiled  to use the new versions   And  between PHP 5 2 and PHP 5 3  for what I remember  there have been some modifications in the internal data-structures used by the PHP engine -- which means extensions must be re-compiled  in order to match that new version of those data-structures    How to update your PHP extensions will depend on which system you are using   If you are on windows  you can find the  dll for some extensions here   http   downloads php net pierre  For more informations about the different versions  you can take a look at what s said on the left-sidebar of windows php net   If you are on Linux  you must either     Check what your distribution provides Or use the pecl command  to re-download the sources of the extensions in question  and re-compile them

This problem has just happened to me and has been solved simply by increasing  memory limit from 32 M to 64 M You can adjust the value on the file where php ini exists  locate php ini then choose the right file and search for memory limit and after modifying it  you must reboot the apache  etc init d httpd restart  All the best

Before you phpize  make sure to update your path   PS1  to point to the new PHP  phpize uses your environment  and if you still have vestiges of your old PHP in your path or other parts of the environment  things will get hairy

Your problem is within the php5-dev package  I guess you went from php5 2 on an older linux version to php5 3  I did the same thing  and when I managed to install php 5 3 there was a conflict with php5-dev  For some reason it doesn t get upgraded to the new version  Dunno why is that and I don t care  however this makes your extension compiled with the older API version  while php ofc is with the newer api version  What I did to solve this problem was   I removed php5-dev with  sudo apt-get remove php5-dev  then I ran sudo apt-get autoremove to get rid of the leftovers that were giving me the trouble  and after that I just installed php5-dev again  sudo apt-get install php5-dev   Once that was done  I removed my memcache with sudo pecl uninstall memcache and installed it again sudo pecl install memcache  Now both the module and the php had the same api version so I knew right away that I had the issue solved     Hope it  helps
