I've updated my Mac OS X to Yosemite, but doing that I over write all my dev environment. So now, to run Laravel 4 on my local apache I need to install the Mcrypt extension, but everything that i've tried i fail. Even the steps that have worked on OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Anybody has the same issue?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
I just installed it right now on my Mavericks installation using homebrew and it worked surprisingly well. Can't say whether or not it will work so well on Yosemite but worth a shot..
Homebrew
brew install autoconf
brew install mcrypt
Macports
Check PHP version
php -v
Update Macports
sudo port -v selfupdate
Download & install the appropriate version..
sudo port install php55-mcrypt
now dummy proof it..
Find where Macports put the file mcrypt.so and copy it to all instances of /php/extensions/no-debug-... folder. If you have that directory structure in multiple places, copy it to all of them. So every php/extensions/no-debug.. folder on your computer has a copy of mcrypt.so
sudo cp /opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mcrypt.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/
Determine where your php.ini file is and make sure it's the one your actually using because you may have this file in more than 1 place. Do this to all php.ini files you find..
Within that file find and uncomment the following line. If it's commented out, uncomment it. If it's not in the file at all, add it. In my default php.ini file I found this on line 536:
extension=mcrypt.so
Compile
Download mcrypt
curl -O http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mcrypt/Libmcrypt/2.5.8/libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz
Uncompress it
tar -zxvf libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.gz
Configure, build, and install
./configure && make && sudo make install
Download Autoconf
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
Uncompress it
tar xvfz autoconf-latest.tar.gz
Configure, build, and install
./configure && make && sudo make install
Apache
Regardless which method you used to install it. You should always restart Apache when your done.
Restart Apache
sudo apachectl restart
I just did these and it installed. MAMP etc. is not installed.
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
brew install php55-mcrypt
And weirdly, I had to reinstall to make it install properly.
brew reinstall php55-mcrypt
However, this also re-installed PHP5.5 from source, but no matter, all is working fine on my end.
I had the same problem. But, I'm using MAMP for my local development. So, I just needed to symlink the php file over to MAMP's version and all is working.
If using homebrew, try reinstalling or relinking your php install.
I'm sure I can help you get back up and working, so just let me know if that doesn't help.
First Install libtool from homebrew, which is a dependency in 10.10 Yosemite
brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool
Then CD to your php directory
cd /usr/local/php5
And into your php.d directory
cd php.d
Then finally do a quick ls to see which extensions you are using:
ls -l
If you see duplicate entries containing "mcrypt" you will need to open one of them up, and comment out the line:
extension=mcrypt.so
to
;;extension=mcrypt.so
But only in one of them. For me it was mcrypt.ini. So..
sudo nano mcrypt.ini
added the line and done!

On 31st of March Homebrew moved some of their formulas around. For this reason I can't find a way to make my PHP 7 work with the following extensions:
mailparse
imap
I have tried many examples found on the internet, such as
brew install php70 --with-imap
brew install -s php70 --with-imap
brew install php70-imap
not mentinoning the brew update, brew upgrade, brew tap etc...
But none of them seems to work as brew php does not work with options anymore.
I had even less options trying to install without homebrew, as I am using nginx in my computer, not apache.
Does any one had this problem and was able to fix it?
Thanks!
After some troubleshooting, it finally worked..... That's how I did:
First I installed the following formulas:
brew install imap-uw
brew install openssl
After that, I downloaded the same version of the pho is running in my computer on http://php.net/downloads.php (saved it in Downloads folder).
In terminal I did.
cd ~/Downloads/php-7.0.29/ext/imap
./configure --with-imap=/usr/local/Cellar/imap-uw/2007f --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl
make
where /usr/local/Cellar/ is the path where the formula imap-uw is installed.
P.S this configure file does not accept --with-openssl or --with-openssl-dir or +openssl. I waist a lot of time trying that.
it created a folder modules/ with the imap.so file inside.
Then I created a folder and moved the imap file to inside it
mkdir /usr/local/opt/php70-imap
mv modules/imap.so /usr/local/opt/php70-imap/imap.so
After that just add the extension to the php.ini file
extension="/usr/local/opt/php70-imap/imap.so"
Restart the server and imap will work fine!
For mailparse I had to use pecl.
First I followed this tutorial https://jason.pureconcepts.net/2012/10/install-pear-pecl-mac-os-x/
After pecl was installed properly in my computer, I ran the following code:
cd
pecl download mailparse
tar -xvf mailparse-3.0.2.tgz
cd mailparse-3.0.2/
phpize
./configure
sed -i 's/#if\s!HAVE_MBSTRING/#ifndef MBFL_MBFILTER_H/' ./mailparse.c
make
mkdir /usr/local/opt/php70-mailparse
sudo mv modules/mailparse.so /usr/local/opt/php70-mailparse/mailparse.so
I got the piece of code above here https://github.com/php-mime-mail-parser/php-mime-mail-parser . However the line sed -i 's/#if\s!HAVE_MBSTRING/#ifndef MBFL_MBFILTER_H/' ./mailparse.c has not worked properly. I ran make anyways and it worked.
After that just add the extension to the php.ini file
extension="/usr/local/opt/php70-mailparse/mailparse.so"
I am trying to install ROOT (cern.root.ch). When I run ./configure , I get a message that libX11 is missing and must be installed.
I did some research and found that I need to install
) XQuartz (I already have the latest version.)
) Command line tools in Xcode.
I tried installing Command Line Tools from apple's developer website. The installation goes through smoothly but how do I know whether it has been installed? I still get libX11 missing error with root's configure command.
I also tried xcode-select --install and it once went through smoothly and then later again gives error saying this package is no longer maintained - or something of that sort.
I understand I may have multiple installations... But I am still facing the problem of not having libX11 and not being able to install ROOT.
Thanks,
Hershal.
This link and the one referenced in it suggests you use homebrew (brew) to install it
$ ruby <(curl -fsS https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
$ brew doctor
Remember to add the Homebrew directory to your PATH by adding the directory (found with brew --prefix) to your .bashrc, .zshrc or whatever shell file you’re using (.bashrc is the OS X default). We’ll also add the XQuartz binaries to the PATH in case anything needs them in the future.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:$PATH
Start a new Terminal session to pick up the changes.
Now that Homebrew is installed, we can use it to install the required dependencies. Each may take some time as Homebrew generally compiles from source.
$ brew install gfortran # Fortran compiler
$ brew install python # Python interpreter
$ brew install pcre # Regular Expressions library
$ brew install fftw # Fast Fourier Transforms
$ brew install cmake # Cross-platform make
install root
$ brew tap homebrew/science
$ brew install --with-cocoa root
You don't say whether you have installed XCode as well as the commandline tools but I think you will need it
I did svn --version on command line and it says it is 1.17.10.
I want to uninstall it completely, so I can re-install 1.16.12
How do I do that in OS X?
Thanks
As said Mike Christensen, in order to uninstall it, you just need to delete the binary. Run which svn to know where your binary is installed.
In order to install subversion, you need to:
Download it.
Uncompress it (tar xzf subversion-1.x.y.tar.gz).
Compile it (./configure && make).
Install it (sudo make install).
I’m pretty sure this will install it in /usr/local/bin. So if you want svn to call the subversion you just installed (instead of the one built in XCode), you need to edit your $PATH so that /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin. On Mac OS X, editing the path is done by editing the file /etc/paths.
Note that steps 3 and 4 requires a compiler and make. The easiest way to get those on Mac OS X is to install XCode.
If you get any error in following Etienne Miret solution so the following
after setp 3
brew install apr
brew install apr-util
/configure --with-apr=/usr/local/Cellar/apr/1.5.2_3/ --with-apr-util=/usr/local/Cellar/apr-util/1.5.4_4 && make
sudo make install
After completion, you can see the new SVN installed here
/usr/local/bin/svn --version
I installed MongoDB via Homebrew (following http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/) but it's not working.
Typing mongod at shell prompt gives me:
-bash: mongod: command not found
Not sure if I need to add something for Homebrew to my PATH env var?
I can see Mongo is installed under /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb – but am assuming I don't need to add everything I install via homebrew to the path? Also, assuming I can run mongod from any directory or am I actually meant to be in install directory?
When I run brew doctor I get:
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Followed by a list of 3 items which includes MongoDB – but I'm not sure how I'm meant to link them?
Works perfectly
brew update
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community#4.2
For latest version, check https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/
You're getting this error because your 'brew' install failed to create the correct symlinks in /usr/local/bin. As a result, the shell can't find the mongo executables in your $PATH. You can fix this using the following steps:
Check the permissions on /usr/local/bin and make sure that you own that directory and have write permissions on it
$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin
Once you've fixed that, run 'brew link' to fix the symlinks
$ brew link mongodb
If you are on mongodb-community#4.0. You can try to reinstall with brew reinstall mongodb-community#4.0.
Then I get the following hint:
==> Caveats
mongodb-community#4.0 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have mongodb-community#4.0 first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#4.0/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
So you can just copy the echo command and restart your shell!
Copied from a different channel running these commands in the terminal updated the installation/configuration issues as described in OP
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community
I faced the same problem and this solution seemed to work for me. I had previously uninstalled mongodb and reinstalled it through homebrew which gave me a bunch of problems. This solution seemed to work just fine.
brew uninstall --force mongodb
brew cleanup -s mongodb
brew cleanup --prune-prefix
brew install mongodb
It works from the directory since the sh searches the ENV path and then the cwd for a program named mongod. I have been looking around a little and it seems that the default install of MongoDB (I am not a Mac user) does not install a rc or init script for which sh to understand it's running behaviour as stated here:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/#using-mongodb-from-homebrew-and-macports
The packages installed with Homebrew and MacPorts contain no control
scripts or interaction with the system’s process manager.
If you have configured Homebrew and MacPorts correctly, including
setting your PATH, the MongoDB applications and utilities will be
accessible from the system shell. Start the mongod process in a
terminal (for testing or development) or using a process management
tool.
So you must actually define (as you said) MongoDBs path, here is an example: https://snipt.net/sido/installing-mongodb-on-os-x/
Edit: the example is not mine. I just stole it from it's user: https://snipt.net/sido/
After I got MacPorts installed and did a 'sudo port -v selfupdate', I try to install meld.
The installation just starts to Fetching all kinds of stuff
gnome-comoon
perl5.8
perl5
pkgconfig
.....
this goes on and on.
Is that normal?
You may want to install it via HomeBrew (already mentioned before):
brew install homebrew/gui/meld
Though you may face stability issues (as I did). So I'd rather recommend to use "Meld for OSX":
Go to https://yousseb.github.io/meld/
Download DMG file you prefer (e.g. "Download latest DMG" https://github.com/yousseb/meld/releases/download/osx-6/meldmerge.dmg)
Install it to your Applications folder
We are basically done, but it is not accessible via command line.
Solution:
Write a small wrapper to run from Terminal:
echo -e '#!/bin/sh
params="$#"
open -W -a Meld --args $params' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/meld
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/meld
Try (you must use absolute paths though):
meld /home/a.txt /home/b.txt
Or just run Meld from menu.
meld is now available in homebrew. The formula can be found here.
See this answer by cmedeiros on SuperUser for more information on installing and getting it to work. This is much easier than using MacPorts.
Current command with updated formula to install meld with homebrew is:
brew install caskroom/cask/meld
Yes, it is normal to pull in dependencies but it shouldn't take too long. For comparison, installing Meld with Homebrew took about 15 minutes for me.
For reference, my installation of Meld on OS X Mavericks:
Install Xcode from the app store
Install XQuartz from package (Meld will complain if you don't have it)
command line: 'brew install meld'
If you are prompted to install the Xcode command line tools at some point, do so.
Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, the is very normal with MacPorts, and is the reason that people many have switched to homebrew http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
However, I found this post because homebrew doesn't include Meld. Sigh.
Consider downloading macOS meld version dmg https://github.com/yousseb/meld/releases/
Brew now works brew install --cask meld.
See https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/meld#default
UPDATE Jul-23-2020
Just do :
brew install homebrew/gui/meld
using the updated brew link: brew install caskroom/cask/meld
even after this its not working when I install backup and restore tool by google. I guess its messing up with the python version.
