Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries when I try to install

sudo pecl install mongodb-beta

configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries

I've tried with/without sudo. I've tried to just install the mongodb lib without the -beta. I have all the openssl libs and dev libs installed and it still gives me this message. I'm using ubuntu utopic

[pocketmax]

fixed it...

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

Do you know if you had libbsl-dev installed, or if installing pkg-config fixed it?

Using pkg-config is generally preferable, but the fallback should work -- but you'll need to provide:
--with-openssl-dir=/path/to/openssl

[bjori]

(also "-beta" is no longer needed -- the 1.0.0-stable has been released :))

I already had libssl-dev and pkg-config installed already. After I installed those packages, I did a normal "sudo pecl install mogodb" and it worked without a problem.

[bjori]

The configure output said you were missing pkg-config

checking for pkg-config... no

Anyway, glad everything worked out. Let us know if you find any other issues!

[pocketmax]

ug, sorry. I was thinking of a different VM I was testing with. omg, it's the very next line BEFORE the openssl error line and I didn't notice it. Sorry, ID-10T issue.

I'm running in OSX and tried the following commands

$ brew reinstall pkg-config
$ brew link openssl --force
$ sudo pecl install mongodb
....
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongodb-1.1.2
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=mongodb.so" to php.ini

Ubuntu 16.10
after installing:
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

sudo pecl install mongodb
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/mongodb/configure' failed

@necromant2005 Can you post your "config.log" somewhere (pastebin.com)? And provide a link here?

[necromant2005]

I fixed the issue by installing extra libraries, the whole list
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf g++ make openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config
sudo apt-get install -y libsasl2-dev

@pocketmax i did the same and it worked! thanks!

@necromant2005 Thanks, worked for me on Debian 8.3 too!

On Ubuntu 16.04 I removed libcurl14-openssl-dev and works too
