From previous HOW TO

- http://www.bxtra.net/Articles/2010-04-27/How-install-Memcached-CentOS-Di...

I just think that I should note an update how to install Memcached so that I, myself, can follow the steps here and get the latest version. The steps are almost exactly to my previous Memcached PECL installed. Only a few changes to install an updated version.

Get Libevent which is require to install Memcached. Their homepage is here -> http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
tar -xvf libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.10-stable
./configure;make;make install;

Then, get Memcached from http://memcached.org

wget http://memcached.googlecode.com/files/memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz
gunzip memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz
tar -xvf memcached-1.4.5.tar
cd memcached-1.4.5
./configure;make;make install;

For me, I got an error below when try to run memcached :

memcached: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, I did steps below :

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib64/libevent-2.0.so.5

Once you're done with that, try run 

memcached -d -u nobody -m 1024 127.0.0.1 -p 11211

This is not done yet, you need to let PHP knows to be able to use memcached.

wget http://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/0.48/+download/libmemcached-0.48.tar.gz
tar xvfz libmemcached-0.48.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-0.48
./configure

You will see screen below :

Then, run

make && make install

Then install Memcached PECL with below command :

pecl install memcached

Once it's done, you may notice that the extension path is different to what we normally see. What you will see is :

/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

But what most module for PHP 5.3 installed will compile into 

/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

Therefore, make sure you get the right path for extension_dir Edit php.ini to have lines below : (Make sure the line "extension_dir" is there or you need a full path to memcached.so )

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626"
extension=memcached.so

Then, restart HTTP and check PHP Status.. You will see Memcached info as below:

In case you need to use Memcached as a session handler. (Not require) Then, you need to edit php.ini and set variable below :

session.save_handler=memcached
session.save_path="127.0.0.1:11211"

Now, you're done install Memcached on the server. However, you need to modify some code in your website script to make use of Memcached.

Got same error with new libmemcached 1.0.6
. Still, I don't have time to check it now cause I don't use memcached PECL anymore. Will check it again later.

The accepted answer was to place "#define __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS" at the top of the file. I did so for auto.cc and was able to compile that particular file

Well then. Apologies for the thread. Seems there was a similar issue in the gearmand module, and exporting the compiler environment variables to use gcc 4.4 works.

Just tested with version 1.0.7 and it works ok now.

Update : Well spoke too soon.. "./configure" was now compiled ok but after ran "make & make install" , below is the error I got :
