Answer 2

After install XCode5 Command Line Tools as afessler sugest (xcode-select --install) I couldn't do the "sudo pecl install memcache" because pecl was missing. I had to install PEAR and PECL following this guide: http://techtastico.com/post/como-instalar-pear-y-pecl-en-os-x-mavericks/. Then all worked good. Thanks!

Answer 3

I had this problem and it was due to MAMP not having all the PHP sources.

I found this really helpful solution that explains how to download and configure them: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11175197/369326

Note that the MAMP components doesn't include the extras for any versions of PHP higher than php 5.4.10 but you can download the extras from http://php.net/releases.

Answer 4

run xcode-select --install to install the XCode5 Command Line Tools, then sudo pecl install memcache. You should be good to go.
