I have installed pcntl on my PHP 5.4.6 running on Ubuntu 32-bit 12.10, using this article.
It didn\'t go smoothly at all because after compiling, when running make
sudo gedit
sudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
or \ and
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
find:
disable_functions = pcntl_alarm,pcntl_fork,pcntl_waitpid,pcntl_wait,pcntl_wifexited,pcntl_wifstopped,pcntl_wifsignaled,pcntl_wexitstatus,pcntl_wtermsig,pcntl_wstopsig,pcntl_signal,pcntl
Comment this out:
