Not able to install Gearman on Ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to install Gearman on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine by following command

sudo apt-get install gearman-job-server libgearman-dev 
sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev 

Above commands run properly but when I run

sudo pecl install gearman 

it is giving errors as follows

checking whether to enable gearman support... yes, shared
found in /usr
checking for gearman_client_set_context in -lgearman... yes
checking for gearman_worker_set_server_option in -lgearman... yes
checking for gearman_job_error in -lgearman... no
configure: error: libgearman version 1.1.0 or later required
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/gearman/configure' failed

I am not able to find how to install it.

Solution 1:

In your repository there is old version of gearman. You need do download source of the latest version (at least 1.1.0)from http://www.gearman.org/ compile and install it. Then installation php module with pecl will go smoothly. I had similar problem on centos.

Solution 2:

Another option is to install libgearman-dev from the gearman PPA:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gearman-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Assuming you've already installed libgearman-dev and gearman-job-server, all you have to do is:

sudo apt-get upgrade

To upgrade gearman, then simply run pecl again and it should work this time:

sudo pecl install gearman

Solution 3:

You can try installing an older version of gearman pecl extension. For e.g. latest version on Ubuntu 12.10 install failed. However, specifying bit earlier version worked fine:

pecl install gearman-1.0.3

You can find list of available versions on http://pecl.php.net/package/gearman
