Recently, when trying to install the PHP intl extension for a Symfony2 based web project using Homebrew to following error message kept showing up:
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
This post steps explains what is needed to install PHP intl extension using Homebrew on XAMPP.
Reinstall required?
Trying to do a quick re-install did not succeed:
bash-3.2$ ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
It appears Homebrew is already installed. If your intent is to reinstall you should do the following before running this installer again:
bash-3.2$ rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
So, basically it’s advised to remove existing files and re-start the installer which resulted in
rm: /usr/local/Cellar/libmemcached/1.0.18/AUTHORS: Permission denied
rm: /usr/local/Cellar/libmemcached/1.0.18/bin/memcapable: Permission denied
rm: /usr/local/Cellar/libmemcached/1.0.18/bin/memcat: Permission denied
… and many more errors
Sudo to the rescue?
Ok, so let’s remove the files using sudo:
bash-3.2$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar /usr/local/.git && brew cleanup
Password: *****
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
Well, this is kind of embarrassing 🙂
Since the folder have been successfully removed it might just be the brew cleanup command that causes the problems?
bash-3.2$ sudo brew cleanup
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/brew: line 23: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: Undefined error: 0
It’s not 🙂 So, after manually removing these directories again it’s time for another attempt to call the brew installer:
bash-3.2$ ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”

Pretty easy, right? 😉 Now it’s time to actually install the PHP intl extension.
Install PHP intl extension using Homebrew
To actually install the PHP intl extension we can use Homebrew, thanks to Gigamike for the tip:
bash-3.2$ brew install icu4c
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/icu4c-55.1.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100,0%
==> Pouring icu4c-55.1.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.
Mac OS X already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
OS X provides libicucore.dylib (but nothing else).
Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you’ll need to add to your
build variables:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/55.1: 244 files, 66M
And then finally install intl:
bash-3.2$ sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install intl
Cannot find autoconf phpize failed
In case you get an error Cannot find autoconf
bash-3.2$ sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install intl

Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the
$PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable. Then, rerun this script.
ERROR: `phpize’ failed
make sure that autoconf is installed and PHP_AUTOCONF is set correctly (which is not set by default when using XAMPP).
You can easily install autoconf through Homebrew too:
bash-3.2$ brew install autoconf
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/autoconf-2.69.yosemite.bottle.1.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100,0%

Warning: This keg was marked linked already, continuing anyway
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69: 70 files, 3,1M
Next, make sure that PHP_AUTOCONF is in your path by checking the path to autoconf:
bash-3.2$ which autoconf
/usr/local/bin/autoconf
Now set PHP_AUTOCONF:
bash-3.2$ export PHP_AUTOCONF=/usr/local/bin/autoconf
and start the intl installation through PECL again:
bash-3.2$ sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install intl

Libraries have been installed in:
/private/tmp/pear/temp/pear-build-rootlnRgnx/intl-3.0.0/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR’
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
– add LIBDIR to the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH’ environment variable
during execution
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
