Is there a standard/supported way to get the memcached extension for PHP installed on openSUSE 13.2?

On CentOS this was a case of yum -y install php-pecl-memcached.

But it doesn't look like the equivalent is present in the default package repos for openSUSE.

I found this but as it's for a customer system I'd rather notleave them with anything non-standard.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Leon

I ended up building this installing this via PECL, the extension having two dependencies: cyrus-sasl-devel which I installed from the default package repo and libmemcached which I built from source:

zypper install cyrus-sasl-devel
zypper install gcc-c++
wget https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.18/+download/libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
tar -xzf libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-1.0.18
./configure
make
make install
pecl install memcached
⋮
libmemcached directory [no] : /usr/local
⋮

Then I created file /etc/php5/conf.d/memcached.ini containing:

extension=memcached.so

  • Thanks, this also worked great on openSUSE tumbleweed. You might want to add php5-devel (for pecl) and php5-pear (pecl doesn't execute without some PEAR files) to the packages that have to be installed beforehand.
