I am trying to install PHP 5.4 with PHPBrew but have those errors:

Answer 1

I look like you're missing some dependencies.

Try with install ssl dev package first:

apt-get install libssl-dev

PHPBrew just downloads and compiles php, but it doesn't install required dependecies in your OS.

EDIT:

I've just noticed that you've provided path for openssl library in +openssl=/usr/include/openssl.

Are you sure it's there? You can check it with which openssl. This command will return the path of openssl binary.

Also you may try to simply remove the path, since PHPBrew should find proper binary on it's own.

Answer 2

Since +openssl directive is actually providing a prefix not an include path, try

+openssl=/usr -- --with-libdir=lib64

Answer 3

configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h>

This problem may happen if you have newer version of OpenSSL installed then your distribution provided.

If you use ubuntu you may need to downgrade your packages back. ( but probably you have installed a different version for a reason so be careful here )

#file etc/apt/preferences.d/allow-downgrade

Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 1001

then

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade

and options

 -- --with-openssl=/path/to/libs 

or

+openssl

should work just fine.

If you already have some misfunctioning PHP installed from PHPbrew don't forget to switch with

phpbrew switch recently_installed_php_ver_number_here

Answer 4

On Ubuntu 16.10

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install clibcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libsslcommon2-dev

then re-run

phpbrew install 5.4.6 +default +apxs2 +mysql +openssl=/usr/include/openssl
