[SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

I was looking for the pecl binary. On the PHP and Drupal archwiki pages:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PHP#using_pecl and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dr … ot_enabled is explained how to get it.
In the AUR php-pear package there is no pecl binary.
Online I could not find any info about the PECL binary and where to get it for archlinux.
Does anyone know where PECL is?

I just built the package and it contains /usr/bin/pecl.

@lahwaacz, thanks for checking. Also succeeded to compile the package php-imagick (I had to remove hardening-wrapper first see the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icu57/)

After running php -v:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'imagick' (tried: /usr/lib/php/modules/imagick
 (/usr/lib/php/modules/imagick: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/modules/imagick.so 
(/usr/lib/php/modules/imagick.so: undefined symbol: spl_ce_Countable)) in Unknown on line 0

$ pecl
-bash: pecl: command not found

could you check where the Pecl binary is in your system?

I had to remove hardening-wrapper

hardening-wrapper was always a dirty hack and removed from repositories around july 2017 because default building flags protect better now then hardening-wrapper ever did.
I suggest you run pacman -Qm and pacman -Qdt to see what other obsolete stuff you have.

@Lone_Wolf, yep its a complete "beerput". Next week will have a new system, so I can start fresh again.
php-imagick installed fine but still no trace of pecl.

Re: [SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

pecl is provided by the php-pear package, as the two wiki pages linked from your first post say.

Re: [SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

Can you tell me where in your system it exists?
I installed php-pear, no trace of pecl

Re: [SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

I already said it's in /usr/bin/pecl

How did you install the package and what does "pacman -Ql php-pear" show?

Re: [SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

So are you on blackarch or are you just using the blackarch repo?

Edit: Either way, that package is both old and broken.

Re: [SOLVED]Maybe wrong info about installing PECL on archwiki?

Once you remove the repo, remember to do a full system update to replace the blackarch versions with their Arch counterparts. Also, check your pacman -Qm output to see which other packages will now be stale.

Please remember to mark your thread as solved.
