pecl fails installing mongodb driver on Apple Silicon (M1)

I have php 7.4 installed on my macbook pro m1

% php -v
PHP 7.4.15 (cli) (built: Feb 26 2021 09:28:23) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.4.15, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

I'm trying to install the mongodb driver running:

sudo pecl install mongodb

But fails after a while:

mp/pear/temp/mongodb/src/contrib/ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c /private/tmp/pear/temp/mongodb/php_phongo.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/php_phongo.o

#include "pcre2.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [php_phongo.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

I tried with

arch -x86_64 sudo pecl install mongodb

but results in the same error.

Somebody knows how can I solve this please? Or if I can install the mongodb driver without using pecl. Thanks in advance.

I have finally solved my problem. I followed these steps from https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver/issues/1159

After installing a newer PHP version where previously I used 7.3.24 and updated to 7.4.16.

Still had the same issue but diffrent file:

fatal error: 'pcre2.h' file not found #include "pcre2.h"

From this error I tried to check the files in the MacOs Big Sur File system and in the end I found where the pcre2.h is located, and oddly it was being called in the pcre folder, so I manually copied from the pcre2 folder to pcre

The solution that I used:

$cp /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.36/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php\@7.4/7.4.16/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

Then, I installed mongodb using

$brew install mongodb

After that, I once again tried

$sudo pecl install mongodb

Finally, it worked. However, I'm not sure if this is a good way to solve the problem by manually adding a header file to the directory. (Sorry I'm still new to the MacOs Environment, just bought a mac mini m1 last week for developing my programming skills)

If you were to install php multiple versions from homebrew make sure you are using the current version as you wanted to. You could check the version by using which php.

To switch from 7.4 to 5.6

$brew unlink php@7.4
$brew link php@5.6 --force

I had the same issue with PHP 7.3, I solved it just by running the following commands:

cp /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.38/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php@7.3/7.3.31/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

Then installed it successfully:

sudo pecl install mongodb

cp /Applications/MAMP/Library/include/pcre2.h /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php8.0.8/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

then run

sudo pecl install mongodb
