sudo pecl install apc error on os x lion

apc, osx-lion, osx-mavericks, pecl, php

Solution

I think this is because MacPorts installs the header files in a different location from where `pecl` expects them.

To fix this error, I symlinked `pcre.h` to `/usr/include`:

sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/pcre.h /usr/include/

When running `sudo pecl install apc` it compiled just fine.

Problem

I tried installing APC with pecl on OS X Lion (`sudo pecl install apc`) and it complained about a missing pcre.h file: ``` In file included from /private/tmp/pear/temp/APC/apc.c:44: /usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:10: fatal error: 'pcre.h' file not found #include "pcre.h" ``` So I used MacPorts to install the pcre package (`sudo port install pcre`) but it still complains. How can I fix this?
