pcre2.h: No such file or directory

Question

I try to install openswoole on my mac machine. I have this issue when installing it.

/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.29/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:25:10: fatal error: pcre2.h: No such file or directory
 #include "pcre2.h"

I used the command brew install pcre to fix this issue as others recommend, but I always get the same result. I try to open the folder pcre I only see one php_pcre.h file inside it.

Answer 1

Here's simplest solution. I have finally solved my problem. I used PHP 8.1.7 - Mac Pro 2022 - Apple Silicon (M1)

My errors: fatal error: 'pcre2.h' file not found

The solution that I used:

1. brew install pcre2

2. ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/pcre2/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include/php/ext/pcre/

   Beware of the PHP version in the destination, adjust as-needed. Then, re-run the installation that failed, e.g. apcu or openswoole.

3. pecl install ...

Success Installation:

Answer 2

try:

sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/pcre.h /usr/include/       "replace your file location here"
sudo pecl install apc
