CentOS php-imagick gives compile error on installation. What to do?

Question

PHP

When I try to install imagick via pecl, I get the following.

# pecl install imagick
downloading imagick-3.1.2.tgz ...
Starting to download imagick-3.1.2.tgz (94,657 bytes)

Please provide the prefix of Imagemagick installation [autodetect] :

checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/var/tmp/pear-build-rootTLr9lD/imagick-3.1.2':

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details
ERROR: `/var/tmp/imagick/configure --with-imagick' failed

Tried to chroot and mount temporary directories (/tmp , /var/tmp) as advised here . Does not exceed. Moreover, mount | grep /tmp initially produces an empty response. That is, you cannot remount to rw , install imagick, and then back. Tried to mount manually with setting only rw , didn't help. Changed permissions to 777 for both /tmp directories, didn't help either. I don't know what to do next. You need to install imagick as GD does not work with BMP formats.
UPD: I changed the temporary directory for PEAR via pear config-set temp_dir /root/tmp and the installation went there, but fails with the same error.

Answer 1

Solved the problem myself:
1. Use /tmp/pear , there are archives of downloaded extensions.
2. Unpacked imagick.tgz
3. Ran phpize to check then ./configure which gave me the same errors but saved config.log.
4. It was useful to read the log (once again I am convinced of their usefulness) in the log it was written that compilation fails due to the fact that the compiler cannot find stdio.h.
5. Useful in /usr/include - indeed there is no file, but g++ and gcc are installed.
6. We barely googled the answer for CentOS. It is advised to install glibc-headers.
7. yum install glibc-headers
8. pecl install imagick
9. PROFIT!

Answer 2

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
Show more output of df, dmesg
