I have installed php5.3.6 and also ssh2-0.11.0. But still php -m | grep -i ssh, doesnt shows up. I havent restarted my apache, is that the problem. If any extensions added needs apache restart?

Good article. However, I’d like to point out that you also need to add an entry to /php.d/ directory as follows:

cat echo extension=ss2.so > /etc/php.d/ssh2.ini

This works well on CentOS 6.

@Bipin: did you upgraded php recently as if you did you must update the PHP extensions as well.
You may want to try “pecl upgrade ssh2″ or “pear install -f pecl/ssh2″. If this doesn’t work download the latest ssh2 module and try and compile that one instead the one i posted in this post as this one is a bit older.

Good luck.

What to Do.

@Patrick:

I would recommend making sure that gcc/g++ is installed, not only gcc.

The error you are getting regarding libpicl seems to be coming from sunstudio, libpicl may need to be installed from a patch.

Thanks Florian, I really appreciate the reply.

Still getting same error. I had actually already tried reinstalling gcc prior to posting, but did it again:
% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure –with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as –with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld –enable-shared –enable-languages=c,c
++,f77
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6

I went ahead installed sun studio and it looks like it is finding it in the config.log now:

Not sure how to add libpicl.so.1: ??

@Patrick:

Check if glibc and g++(gcc-c++) are installed, seems that the C compiler doesn’t have all packages installed from the error. You may need libc6-dev. Since you are on SunOS you may want to try SunStudio from Sun, it’s free btw.
