Could not find installation path for: apcu

[mantebal]

• [x] I've checked the issue queue and could not find anything similar to my bug.
• [x] I'm on the latest version of valet-plus (valet --version): <Valet-Plus-Version>
• [x] I've run valet fix and valet install after updating and before submitting my issue/feature.

What is the problem?

Valet could not download and install pecl. I get the error below when i run valet install. Any ideas on how i could fix this?

In Pecl.php line 146:

Could not find installation path for: apcu

Pecl issues are usually caused by an invalid openssl directory. Homebrew will install openssl into the following directory: /usr/local/etc/[email protected]

But PHP looks for it at the following location in all of its default configuration files in valet: /usr/local/etc/openssl

The solution to this is to create a symbolic link between the two using the following command:

ln -s /usr/local/etc/[email protected] /usr/local/etc/openssl

PLease add this solution to the installation checklist - fresh install mojave failed and this fixed it

@clnt Your solution worked perfectly, thank you!

@clnt Thank you! It worked very well in MacOS Catalina!

For macs with M1 chips the location is changed to /opt/homebrew/etc to solve the above you need the following command:

ln -s /opt/homebrew/etc/[email protected] /opt/homebrew/etc/openssl

Confirming that @mmeester's solution from March works on M2 chips as well, but I did also need to follow the steps here: https://freek.dev/2151-fixing-the-dreaded-pcre2h-file-not-found-error-when-installing-imagick

In that article, the author uses this command:

brew install pcre2
ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.39/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php/8.1.0_1/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

But this was written outside the context of Valet+, so the solution for me was:

ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.40/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/8.0.17/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

Note the php version in the last argument of that command—you'll want to update [email protected] to whatever version of valet-php you're using, as well as changing that 8.0.17 version to whatever you need. Hope that helps someone.
