• libcurl3-openssl-

Answer 1

On Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS this worked for me:

First install some prerequisites needed for compilation:

sudo apt-get install php-http
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl3
sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo pecl install raphf 
sudo pecl install pecl_http-1.7.6

after that go to the folder /usr/lib/php5/modules and check if the libraries are there: raphf.so, propro.so and http.so.

If your php.ini (at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini) does not contain these extensions, add them:

extension=http.so
extension=propro.so
extension=raphf.so

or using the absolute path to the files, e.g. extension=/usr/lib/php5/modules/http.so.

And as last step restart your webserver, thus loading the new configuration:

sudo service apache2 reload
