So if this is indeed a bug in PEAR, it should probably be reported there.

I use brew to install PHP and then pecl or PEAR to install any extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 18:36:48] drtechno at mail dot com I just noticing you are using macOS Catalina. there are package managers like apt-get for the mac ( like Brew) but it would depend on if the author made it available in those BSD (macOs) channels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 18:23:43] drtechno at mail dot com There are three ways, but it depends on your distro. for Ubuntu, and other Debain type distros: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php7.0-apcu -y then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart (nginx) or sudo service apache2 reload Debain-version has a configuration script But on non debain systems that use apt-get, use this (which is the method you tried): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php-pear -y sudo pecl install apcu add the plugin extension echo "extension = apcu.so" | sudo tee -a /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini Then add the symbol links for whatever webserver/service Nginx (web and the command line interface (CLI) examples): sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/30-apcu.ini sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/30-apcu.ini Apache example: sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/30-apcu.ini then restart your web server: sudo service php7.0-fpm restart (nginx) or sudo service apache2 reload (apache2) The last way would be source code.... sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php7.0-dev git build-essential -y cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/krakjoe/apcu cd apcu phpize ./configure make sudo make install add the php extension: echo "extension = apcu.so" | sudo tee -a /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini Then add Symbol links: for nginx: sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/30-apcu.ini sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/30-apcu.ini or for apache: sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/apcu.ini /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/30-apcu.ini then restart web server: sudo php7.0-fpm restart or sudo service apache2 reload ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 18:01:55] drtechno at mail dot com Well, it sounds like permission. execute under root alias. by executing: sudo pecl install APCu Most programs are deliberately restricted what they can access on a linux system, and in most cases, like installation, it required root privileges. Only use sudo and never log as root. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 11:00:38] dries dot vints at gmail dot com Hmm, sorry about that. There wasn't a "PEAR" option in the "Package affected" list so I posted it under PECL which in hindsight maybe wasn't the best choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
