Installing MongoDB on CentOS 5.5 32bits

by

I’m trying to install mongoDB on my CentOS 5.5 32bits VPS server which is going without any trouble until I try to install the PHP driver.

Logged in as root i do

$ pecl install mongo

Resulting in the error

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.

I tried to manually download it from github but when executing a phpize on that one I get the same error.

Hopefully someone can help me with installing the driver.

Answer

  1. Make sure you have the correct permissions to install mongodb
  2. Install the development tools (quite a lot of packages to install, you may want to install only some if you have a low bandwidth or not enough disk space): yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
