Being on the Apple Developers list, I’ve installed the latest edition of the OS and am doing some Beta testing of my apps.

A few days after upgrading, my Gearman test code stopped working with this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘GearmanClient’ not found in connect.class.php on line 35

That triggered a slight bit of panic, however I knew my libraries were mostly in tact as I was able to start my gearmand service without a problem at all. Hoping against odds I decided to simply run a new make and install of the Gearman PHP components.

UPDATE: If you do not have the latest Gearman libraries for PHP, they are located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/gearman I recommend you download the latest version and build from that.. My page on building PHP Gearman on OSX is located [HERE]

I cd’d to the directory where I’d built my Gearman PHP libraries a few days prior:

david$ cd /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2

NOTE: If you have not recently built PHP Gearman modules, this page [ HERE ] detailed getting to the next step.

Then I ran a make and a make install in the directory.

gearman-1.1.1 david$ make
/bin/sh /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/libtool –mode=install cp ./gearman.la /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules
cp ./.libs/gearman.so /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules/gearman.so
cp ./.libs/gearman.lai /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules/gearman.la
[…]
Build complete.
Don’t forget to run ‘make test’.

gearman-1.1.1 david$ sudo make install
/bin/sh /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/libtool –mode=install cp ./gearman.la /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules
cp ./.libs/gearman.so /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules/gearman.so
cp ./.libs/gearman.lai /usr/local/gearman-1.1.2/modules/gearman.la

Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

This worked perfectly, and following a RE-CREATION of my /etc/php.ini file (which I also lost), I was good to go!

include_path=.:/mnt/crawler
extension=”gearman.so”

Viola.. Gearman development back underway!!
