This could be because you're behind a firewall, or it could be because the extension you want to install is not available as a PECL compatible package, such as unreleased extensions from SVN. If you need to build such an extension, you can use the lower-level build tools to perform the build manually. </p> <p class="simpara"> The <em>phpize</em> command is used to prepare the build environment for a PHP extension. In the following sample, the sources for an extension are in a directory named <var class="filename">extname</var>: </p> <p class="para"> <div class="example-contents screen"> <div class="cdata"><pre> $ cd extname $ phpize $ ./configure $ make # make install </pre></div> </div> </p> <p class="simpara"> A successful install will have created <var class="filename">extname.so</var> and put it into the PHP <a href="ini.core.html#ini.extension-dir" class="link">extensions directory</a>. You'll need to and adjust <var class="filename">php.ini</var> and add an <em>extension=extname.so</em> line before you can use the extension. </p> <p class="simpara"> If the system is missing the <em>phpize</em> command, and precompiled packages (like RPM's) are used, be sure to also install the appropriate devel version of the PHP package as they often include the <em>phpize</em> command along with the appropriate header files to build PHP and its extensions. </p> <p class="simpara"> Execute <strong class="command">phpize --help</strong> to display additional usage information. </p> </div><hr /><div class="manualnavbar" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="prev" style="text-align: left; float: left;"><a href="install.pecl.pear.html">Compiling shared PECL extensions with the pecl command</a></div> <div class="next" style="text-align: right; float: right;"><a href="install.pecl.php-config.html">php-config</a></div> <div class="up"><a href="install.pecl.html">Installation of PECL extensions</a></div> <div class="home"><a href="index.html">PHP Manual</a></div> </div></body></html>
