installing amqp on mac with brew

Question

I wanted to install amqp with pecl for my mac sierra.

I installed php with brew, with pecl install amqp I receive an error: checking for amqp using pkg-config... configure: error: librabbitmq not found

I installed with brew the librabbitmq-c package but I still get this error. I think it's somehow not synced with the pkg-config.

Does someone have an idea what to do here?

Answer 1

First install rabbitmq-c with brew:

brew search librabbitmq
No formula or cask found for "librabbitmq".
Closed pull requests:
Add rabbitmq-c (aka librabbitmq) formula (https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/pull/13437)


brew install rabbitmq-c

Then install amqp with pecl:

pecl install amqp

Set the path to librabbitmq:

Set the path to librabbitmq install prefix [autodetect] : /usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.9.0

Verify that amqp is now installed:

php -i|grep amqp

Although php -i | grep amqp didn't return any info confirming amqp was enabled, I was able to use it. – Bogy

@dmd Maybe you forgot to add extension=amqp.so; to you php.ini file Pecl do it automatically but you must specify the location of your php.ini To set the location: pecl config-set php_ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.xxx/php.ini Check php.ini location file : php --ini – Halftimbered

php -m | grep amqp – Irremeable

@jose answer worked for me on MacOS Big Sur with PHP 7.2. – Nigh

Works fine on Big Sur, just path to cellar has changed: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.11.0 – Scant

Answer 2

Thanks for this walk through, it was super helpful. Just a quick note, in Mac OS 12.0.1 Monterey, the default install path for rabbitmq in homebrew is:

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.11.0

Actually for me (Monterey 12.3.1) it is /usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.11.0 – Gloze

Answer 3

I'm on MacOS High Sierra. I installed the Command_line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_10.1.dmg from developer.apple.com and brew installed php 8.

For the amqp extension, I used:

brew install rabbitmq-c
pecl install amqp-1.11.0beta

at the prompt

Set the path to librabbitmq install prefix [autodetect] :

I entered:

Set the path to librabbitmq install prefix [autodetect] : /usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.11.0

I also had to run mkdir -p /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl – Silkweed

Answer 4

The issue lies with pkg-config not being able to generate libs/cflags for librabbitmq.

$ pkg-config librabbitmq --cflags
Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `openssl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'openssl', required by 'librabbitmq', not found

What I did was to add both rabbitmq-c and openssl to $PKG_CONFIG_PATH as below:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.10.0/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"

Then the build will succeed. (Note: I built mine with phpbrew rather than pecl, but should work).

Brew doesn't add the file to the pkg-config path, so it needed a command: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.9.0/lib/pkgconfig"

didn't help though :-/ – Kashmir

Answer 6

It's a combination of question and both previous answers which worked for me.

First install RabbitMQ through brew as rabbitmq-c. Then with PECL but add the config path when asked: /usr/local/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.10.0

Needs to be adjusted with your installed brew version of RabbitMQ.

This didn't work for me. pecl config-set php_ini /usr/local/etc/php/7.2/php.ini and brew install rabbitmq-c and pecl install amqp it still can't find amqp.so – Gand

Answer 7

Before installing make sure the taps are up-to-date:

brew update

Then, install RabbitMQ server with:

brew install rabbitmq

In case that directory is not in PATH it's recommended to append it:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin

Answer 8

On my M1 Mac Pro, PHP 8.2.1 the PECL install amqp rabbbitmq path it wanted is /opt/homebrew/Cellar/rabbitmq-c/0.11.0/

Hope this helps someone.
