I am trying to install this https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php on a Centos 5 (a fork of RHEL 5).

I installed libssh2 (yum install libssh2) which is located in /usr/lib, and when I install SSH2 extension (via pecl install -f ssh2) I get this message

checking for ssh2 files in default path… not found configure: error: The required libssh2 library was not found. You can obtain that package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libssh2/ ERROR: `/tmp/pear/download/ssh2-0.11.0/configure –with-ssh2=/usr’ failed

If I set /usr/lib, I get the same message

ERROR: `/tmp/pear/download/ssh2-0.11.0/configure –with-ssh2=/usr/lib’ failed

Where is the problem?

  1. Installing libssh2 via tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libssh2/ help a lot (–with-ssh2=/usr/local/include/).

    But :

    yum install libssh2-devel

    …is a better idea.
