Yum error php-pecl-zip requires: libzip.so.4
Error Requires: libzip.so.4
Error: Package: php-pecl-zip-1.13.2-1.el6.remi.5.6.i686 (remi-php56)
Requires: libzip.so.4
I got the above error on my linux server when I tried to install PHP version 5.6 on webmin server using remi repository. Error shows “libzip.so.4” is required for package “php-pecl-zip”. Do the below steps to fix the dependency issue.
FIX :
1. Log into your Linux server via SSH as ‘root’ user
2. Type the command “rpm -qa | grep libzip” to check whether the package is installed
[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | grep libzip
[root@server ~]#
If the above commands shows no output then it means libzip is not installed on the server. On the above server you can see that package libzip is not installed.
3. Install epel repository by running the command “yum install epel-release”
[root@server ~]# yum install epel-release
You can also install epel repository using rpm file.
4. Go to “/etc/yum.repos.d/” directory and make sure EPEL repo is enabled
Open epel.repo file using vi editor and change “enabled=0” to “enabled=1”
Save the file and exit vi editor
5. Run the command “yum install libzip” to install libzip
[root@server yum.repos.d]# yum install libzip
