Answer 1

I had the same problem whilst trying to pecl install -f ssh2 with MAMP.

Here's how I fixed it:

1. MAMP doesn't provide the source code archive for PHP 5.4.10 so download it from php.net
2. Extract the source code archive to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/include/php
3. Run ./configure to configure the source code for your platform (without this step the pecl install will fail looking for a bunch of header files)
4. Retry your pecl install

(much thanks to Stephen's answer which is pretty much the same)

Answer 2

PECL Modules are compiled modules, in order to install them, you need the PHP headers. You can found the headers on php.net/downloads.php make sure you download a version which match with your PHP version. Then you can follow this : Installing PHP OAuth in MAMP environment

This is a complement to Stephen's answer and Greg's comment

When compiling xdebug 2.3.2 for php 5.6.2 on OSX 10.10.2, I could not get rid of the

'zend_config.h' file not found

error until I added the following option to ./configure in the php folder:

./configure --without-iconv

I know this is old but I found this question while having a similar issue.

MAMP doesn’t ship with a bunch of the PHP sources

• Download MAMP components and configure
• URL: http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html (i.e. MAMP_components_2.0.2.zip)
• Unpack your MAMP_components_2.0.2.zip
• Identify your php-5.x.x.tar.gz file (where 5.x.x is your version of PHP)
• If you are using php > 5.4.10 then download the sources from http://php.net/releases as they are not in the MAMP components download (credit pulkitsinghal in comments)

• Create directory for your PHP sources:

  mkdir -vp /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/include

• Untar php-5.x.x.tar.gz into /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.*/include or /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/ include:

  tar zxvf php-5.x.x.tar.gz -C /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.?.??/include

• Rename your php-5.x.x directory to php (without the version numbering):

  mv /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php-5.?.?? /Applications/ MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/include/php

• Configure PHP sources (it’ll create necessary files i.e. zend_config.h, tsrm_config.h, etc.):

  cd /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.?.??/include/php

  ./configure

The process was for another fix but this resolved the issues with php.h not being found
