As there is no clean/straight documentation regarding compatible installations/combinations on various m/cs. To Add, on CentOs release 5.4 (Final), i have successfully compiled pecl memcached : 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 requires libmemcached 0.39+ (Found in one comment at pecl bugs site, Thanks to him).

Which version? I'm just guessing here, but it sounds like libmemcached might not have installed correctly. Were there any errors reported? Any chance you can try a different version number?

I had been looking for a week for something like this (I'm a Linux newbie) and finally found it here. I have one thing I want to add that will complete this package and I hope will help out... If the Memcached doesn't seem to work (e.g. you get WRITE FAILURE when using getResultMessage() to debug after a set() ), you may need to type the following in the terminal: sudo apt-get install php5-memcached then, restart... sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Thank you so very much for this, you have lifted an incredible weight off my shoulders.

If the Memcached doesn’t seem to work (e.g. you get WRITE FAILURE when using getResultMessage() to debug after a set() ), you may need to type the following in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install php5-memcached

then, restart…

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Thank you so very much for this, you have lifted an incredible weight off my shoulders.
