How to install the PHP OAuth Extension on Amazon Linux

Question

In order to connect to QuickBooks from my PHP application, I need to install OAuth. I was following these instructions (substituting yum for apt-get) but after the first line

sudo yum install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config I see:

No package libc-dev available.
No package pkg-config available.

Are there Amazon Linux compatible equivalents for these packages? How should I proceed?

EDIT: After running sudo yum install php-pecl-oauth I see:

Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper

You could try using —skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va —nofiles —nodigest

Those instructions aren't for Amazon Linux. You should not expect them to work.

And in any case, most yum-using distributions already have php-oauth packaged, so you don't need to do any of that. On Amazon Linux, the package name is php-pecl-oauth.

yum install php-pecl-oauth

And Bob's your uncle.

Thanks but that didn't work; see edited question. – Tomaso Albinoni Nov 01 '15 at 18:25
You installed the php56- package set instead, so you should do php56-pecl-oauth. – Michael Hampton Nov 01 '15 at 18:26
Thank you, that worked! And where should I put the configuration file for the extension (next step in the instructions)? The directory `/etc/php5.X-sp/conf.d` doesn't exist. – Tomaso Albinoni Nov 01 '15 at 18:33
You should not be reading those directions at all, nor doing anything mentioned in them. That configuration file is already installed from the package. – Michael Hampton Nov 01 '15 at 18:34
I still can't connect to QuickBooks so I'll have to figure out what else is wrong. Thanks for your help though! – Tomaso Albinoni Nov 01 '15 at 18:38
Did you restart PHP? – Michael Hampton Nov 01 '15 at 18:40
I restarted Apache, shouldn't that be sufficient? – Tomaso Albinoni Nov 01 '15 at 18:42

php -m | grep -i oauth - what does this say?

Also, depending on how you have configured Apache, I'd recommend creating a phpinfo.php file w/ the following content and check if the OAuth extension is actually enabled:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

OAuth is loaded and working now, but thanks for the suggestion! – Tomaso Albinoni Nov 03 '15 at 01:20
