Hello,

I have had just the most horrible time compiling Gearman 0.28. I understand this fix has been committed in 0.29, but for this is for people who had the same problems as I have.

I am running the following CentOS and cPanel versions:

# uname -a
Linux 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Sep 6 20:13:52 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

# /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
11.30.6 (build 4)

I could not install using "pecl install gearman" because it errors at libgearman not installed. I could not install libgearman because Boost was not up-to-date. After updating Boost, I could not make Gearman 0.28 because of this bug.

Here are the steps I did to fix the errors:

*****Fix Boost 1.39 >= must be installed issue*****:

1. Download epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm (or suitable version) from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F

2. Install the EPEL repo list using "rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm"

3. yum install boost141-devel

4. ln -s /usr/include/boost141/boost/ /usr/include/boost

5. export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64/boost141"

6. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/boost141:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

*****Fix Gearman benchmark.lo error (before 0.29) *****:
1. yum install gcc44 gcc-c++

2. export CC="gcc44"

3. export CXX="g++44"

*****Configure, Make, Make Install (no rinsing or repeating)*****:
1. ./configure in your gearman folder after using wget for the current release

2. make

3. make install

*****INSTALL THE PECL EXTENSION!!! YAY!*****:
1. pecl install gearman

If you're running cPanel 11.31.2.x and lower, like me, you will have to copy it to the correct location due to a cPanel bug.

2. cp gearman.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626 (for me - check yours!)

3. chmod 775 gearman.so for good measure!

More importantly, give me a call if you need any help... seriously. This was the biggest pain in the ass and I'm a newbie in the Linux world.
