Here's yet another blog post to document something so stupid that I hope to never do it again, but know I will. I spent the better part of the afternoon trying to get the PECL memcache extension working with the PHP 5.2 part of a MAMP installation and finally managed to get it working.
Install XCode.
Open up a terminal and become the root user:
sudo suMake all the MAMP PHP binaries executable:
chmod u+x /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/bin/p*Now get the memcache source, compile it and copy the library into PHP's extensions directory:
cd /tmp
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.5.tgz
tar -zxvf memcache-2.2.5.tgz
cd memcached-2.2.5
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/bin/phpize

make
cp modules/memcache.so /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/Tell PHP to load the memcache extension:
