Good morning community,

I need to install the php extension smbclient but the pecl command fails.

My odroid xu4 development board works under arbiam 20.11 Stable. with Apache 2.4.? (latest) / Msql 10.3.25-MariaDB / Php 7.4.13 (packages.sury.org)

 

konki@cloud:/etc/php/7.4/fpm# pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

Can't find a fix with google! Could you help me?

 

Thank's

I could be wrong, but this does not seem like anything Armbian specific.

 

Userspace (apt, packages, etc.) on top of Armbian is just vanilla Debian (or Ubuntu, depending on what you installed).

apt install sed

sed is a part of every image since its extensively used in lots of scripts. This is probably some other problem like - broken image, broken filesystem, ...

That's what I was thinking, too.  Not only that, but I am not even sure this is actually Armbian?  Or if it is, something very basic is just very wrong (things that Igor said already).

I was of the same opinion but the absence of GNU Sed from the /usr/bin directory is very strange under debian.

sed is installed under armbian 20, but the binary is in the /bin directory. it seems to me that this choice is absolutely not judicious even if a simple symlink allows to solve the problem. I have a workstation under MXLinux (debian stable) and the binary is in its usual place.
I see the same curiosity under linux raspberrypi 5.4.72, sed is installed but the /bin directory!

 

Damned, I thank you for your opinions, but you are wrong:
pecl is a simple script bash which ensures the local compilation of the package.
so either you modify the link /usr/bin/sed in pecl, or you just have to create a link for sed in its historical directory!!!

# type -a sed
sed is /bin/sed

 

# cd /bin
# ln -s /bin/sed /user/bin/sed (create a symlink for sed)
# cd /usr/bin
# ln -l sed

lrwxewxrwx l root ....... sed -> /bin/sed

 

/usr/bin# pecl install smbclient

.......

You should add "extension=smbclient.so" to php.ini

 

that's all folks

But /bin should be in your path too ...

Well, it is your opinion. Mine is not better ...

 

But maybe you should complain with the script providers ...

 

As Igor said, "sed" is a mandatory component for the system and historically /usr was a user filesystem mounted only after initial system initialization. Unix (and Linux) is not WIndows : you have to get some control over the system and not reinstall in case of problem. So the system needs to be layered in some way.

add last part to show it's not symlink
