Pecl install fails, complains about libtool version mismatch

I'm trying to install mongo PHP extensions using pecl install mongo. But it fails with:
...

appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating config.h
running: make

libtool: and run autoconf again.
make: *** [mongo.lo] Error 63

In fact, anything I try to install with pecl fails with the same error message.

I've reemerged php, libtool, automake, etc several times, and run revdep-rebuild whenever they've told me to.

Any ideas how to fix this?

This is a known problem, though I think it only occurs on gentoo. If possible, use the ebuilds for pecl extensions if they exist. If it's an extension that doesn't have an ebuild, the workaround is pretty easy.

Here is an example solution:

*sigh*

Thanks rtomek, that worked for my mongo extension (no ebuild for that one).

Oh, wait, I should say the *mongo* ebuild works for me, not pecl install mongo.

Yes, only mongo is in the tree. If you want to use the pecl interface with mongo, one would want to use a pecl-mongo ebuild if it existed, which is what he is looking for.

edit: I think that they may both be the same thing. Perhaps 'emerge mongo' just installs what he is looking for. Seems kind of confusing since mongo is listed in the tree as a php extension, but the instructions on their website for installing on linux say to use pecl.

There's actually 2 things to install here. The mongo ebuild is for the Mongo database itself, which I successfully emerged. However, the PHP extension I was trying to install (pecl install mongo) is to include the PHP drivers to talk to the Mongo database. So if there was an ebuild for that, I would imagine it would be pecl-mongo.

yeah, that's what I was trying to explain in my post.

If you look at the mongo homepage, any installation method requires pecl and tells you to install using pecl. The ebuild would almost certainly be the pecl extension since that's the only one that exists. So mongo=pecl-mongo becaust it's the only mongo.

Sorry, I was completely confused... mongodb is the database ebuild, mongo is the PECL library. I had emerged mongodb, but was looking for a pecl-mongo ebuild; not finding that, I tried pecl install mongo. To make it worse, I later confused mongo for mongodb. :oops:
