I’m trying to perform a pecl install memcache with XAMPP on OS X Yosemite, but it fails to find zlib, producing this error:
checking for the location of ZLIB… no
checking for the location of zlib… configure: error: memcache support requires ZLIB.
Use –with-zlib-dir= to specify prefix where ZLIB include and library are located
ERROR: `/private/tmp/pear/temp/memcache/configure –enable-memcache-session=yes’ failed
How to I install zlib so that this pecl install memcache can succeed?

Answer
brew install zlib
If you haven’t already done so
Next find the zlib headers:
locate zlib.h
You may find you have a few options to choose from.
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/ etc
or
/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.8/include/zlib.h
I use brew wherever I can so I chose the brew version:
brew install php55-memcached --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.8/include/zlib.h
I assume passing this flag to pecl will have the same result.
