Centos :: Installing php modules via pecl / pear without dependancies
by Tinuva on Feb.26, 2009, under Linux
You might find the following error when you install certain packages:
pecl/mailparse requires PHP extension “mbstring”
No valid packages found
install failed
There are 2 approaches around this.
Approach 1:
Tell the installer to ignore dependancies:
pecl install -n mailparse
Approach 2:
Install the RPM directly, granted you have it in the repos for your current PHP version.
yum install php-pecl-mailparse
