Help, I'm completely unable to install laravel on my kubuntu system. I had to compile php7.1 from scratch to get openssl and bzip to work, and I've checked every English result on Google for the error: "laravel/installer v1.4.1 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system"
Here is the complete error:
gregory@alpha-centauri / $ composer global require "laravel/installer"
Changed current directory to /home/gregory/.config/composer Using version ^1.4 for laravel/installer ./composer.json has been created Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- laravel/installer v1.4.1 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- laravel/installer v1.4.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
Installation request for laravel/installer ^1.4 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v1.4.0, v1.4.1].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini You can also run
php --iniinside terminal to see which files are used by > PHP in CLI mode.Installation failed, deleting ./composer.json.
I've checked these other threads:
Composer global require "laravel/installer" failed
Can't install laravel installer via composer
But I already have php7.1-zip installed:
gregory@alpha-centauri / $ sudo apt-get install php7.1-zip [sudo] password for gregory:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
php7.1-zip is already the newest version (7.1.10-1+ubuntu17.04.1+deb.sury.org+1). The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

I'm completely stuck and would appreciate any help.
