pecl module installation problems

Hello

---

I was trying to install a couple of pecl modules (phpssh2, bbcode) on my centminmod system, and was running into this error:

Code:

shtool at '/tmp/pear/temp/ssh2/build/shtool' does not exist or is not executable.

It turns out the /tmp directory has its noexec flag set, so this command needs to be executed to turn EXEC on for /tmp

Code:

mount -o remount,exec /tmp/

Are there any security or other concerns doing this? If not, can centminmod do this step at installation. The pecl module installation installation routine won't work at all without it.

 

Thanks eva, I should have done more searching first. Thanks again.

I just made /tmp executable to install it, and then made it noexec after installation. I've bookmarked your instructions for the next time.

 

The installation couldn't find a stable build of ssh2, so it brought in the latest beta.

Code:
