Installation Issue

[rparmar75]

Please provide the prefix of the libmosquitto installation [autodetect] :

what should I provide here? Tried different things, same result finally as follows
.........
checking for mosquitto files in default path... not found
configure: error: Please reinstall the mosquitto distribution
ERROR: `/var/tmp/Mosquitto/configure --with-mosquitto=xyz failed

I met the same issue, may be your mosquitto installed from yum,then the libmosquitto.so.1 may not installed.

You can try to install it from source code, and after finish installation ,you should create soft link such as "ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmosquitto.so.1 /usr/lib/libmosquitto.so.1"

Hope It can help someone others

I'm having the same problem...

I'm installing using yum and I found libmosquitto.so.1 in /usr/lib64/libmosquitto.so.1

I soft linked it

ln -s /usr/lib64/libmosquitto.so.1 /usr/lib/libmosquitto.so.1

Next, I ran pecl install Mosquitto-alpha

But, I'm still getting the same error....

Same error here. I'm trying to install on Raspberry Pi running Debian Raspbian Wheezy. Here is the full install output:

I am running mosquitto 1.4.1 installed via mosquittop PPA
(http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-jessie.list)

First I installed: sudo apt-get install libmosquitto1 which installs to: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmosquitto.so.1. Setting this path as the Mosquitto prefix in the PECL install did not work:

Have you got the libmosquitto1-dev package installed as well?

[glynhudson]

No, libmosquitto1-dev does not seem to be in Debian or Ubuntu packages?

Update, sorry wrong spelling libmosquitto-dev is in the packages. YES this fixed this issue 👍

[mgdm]

Great. I might add it to the README!

[glynhudson]

Should this be added to the install readme?

[mgdm]

I've just done so: https://github.com/mgdm/Mosquitto-PHP#installation
