readline not being installed with the php compilation

when installing php version 8.3.14 using php switch version the extensions readline is not being installed.
do you guys know how to solve it?

php -a

SourceGuardian requires Zend Engine API version 420220829.
The Zend Engine API version 420230831 which is installed, is newer.
Contact SourceGuardian Ltd. at https://www.sourceguardian.com/ for a later version of SourceGuardian.

Interactive shell (-a) requires the readline extension.

Which version of php do you have set for CLI use?

PHP 8.3.14 (cli) (built: Dec  9 2024 03:06:51) (NTS)

when running command:
cat /var/log/php-rebuild.log | grep readline

i got these informations:

Package readline-devel-8.1-4.el9.x86_64 is already installed.
    Link pcre2test with libreadline .... : no
checking for phpdbg readline support... no
checking for phpdbg and readline integration... disabled
checking for libedit readline replacement... no
checking for readline support... no

Try to install libedit, libedit-devel:

Code: [Select]

yum install libedit-devel libedit
and then compile php again.

it is already installed.

Then try to install the extension readline manually:

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/src/
wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.14.tar.gz
tar -xvzf php-8.3.14.tar.gz
cd php-8.3.14/ext/readline
phpize
./configure
make
make install
echo "extension=readline.so" > /usr/local/php/php.d/readline.ini

Make sure there are no errors and the file readline.so exists in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-XXXXXXXX/

If everything is ok then check 'php -a' again.

If you get some errors then show us the errors.

hi, thank you so much it worked!
but also i had to run command:
./configure
after command:
phpize

Yes, `configure` is necessary to perform the installation. Sorry for that. I was in hurry. Updated my previous post.

Also, in case you update PHP using php switch then make sure to update readline if it isn't updated automatically by php switch.
