Ubuntu – Not able to install Gearman on Ubuntu 12.04

gearmanUbuntuubuntu-12.04

I am trying to install Gearman on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine by following command

sudo apt-get install gearman-job-server libgearman-dev 
sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev

Above commands run properly but when I run

sudo pecl install gearman

it is giving errors as follows

checking whether to enable gearman support... yes, shared
found in /usr
checking for gearman_client_set_context in -lgearman... yes
checking for gearman_worker_set_server_option in -lgearman... yes
checking for gearman_job_error in -lgearman... no
configure: error: libgearman version 1.1.0 or later required
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/gearman/configure' failed

I am not able to find how to install it.

In your repository there is old version of gearman. You need do download source of the latest version (at least 1.1.0)from http://www.gearman.org/ compile and install it. Then installation php module with pecl will go smoothly. I had similar problem on centos.

Ubuntu – how to install pecl memcached

No need to use pecl. Install memcached extension module for PHP5:

 $ sudo apt-get install php5-memcached

test.php:

<?php
        $m = new Memcached();
        $m->addServer('127.0.0.1', 11211);
        var_dump($m->getStats());
?>

$ php test.php 
array(1) {
  ["127.0.0.1:11211"]=>
  array(24) {
    ["pid"]=>
    int(2462)
    ["uptime"]=>
    int(129)

To test memcached use telnet:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 11211
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

Can’t Install php5-dev on Ubuntu 12.04 running OpenVZ

Easy Fix, what you need to do is specify the version of libc6-dev you want to install (the openvz one in this case), and it will install fine.

Heres how to figure out what you want, ok say you are going to do

apt-get install libc6-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.4) but 2.15-0ubuntu10+openvz0 is to be installed
             Recommends: gcc but it is not going to be installed or
                         c-compiler
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

In this case you want it to install the 2.15-0ubuntu10+openvz0 version, try it again specifying the version like this (notice the =version at the end of the line now):

 apt-get install libc6-dev=2.15-0ubuntu10+openvz0

As you can see here there wound up being 1 more package that it wanted an 'openvz' version for, so i just added that package onto the apt-get install line again specifying the version

apt-get install libc6-dev=2.15-0ubuntu10+openvz0 libc-dev-bin=2.15-0ubuntu10+openvz0

The following extra packages will be installed:

  libgomp1-dbg libquadmath0-dbg libmudflap0-dbg binutils-gold glibc-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gcc gcc-4.6 libc-dev-bin libc6-dev libquadmath0 linux-libc-dev manpages-dev
0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 13.6 MB of archives.
After this operation, 33.5 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

And now it works!!!

Hope this helped you out , I ran into it myself a few times and knowing how to fix it PROPERLY can help alot, there are alternative ways to get around the error but this is the 'correct' way.
