What i need to download:

zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz

http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz

libxml2-2.7.2.tar.gz

ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.2.tar.gz

php-5.3.4.tar.bz2

http://ar.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.4.tar.bz2

memcache-2.2.6.tgz

http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.6.tgz

libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz

http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz

memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz

http://memcached.googlecode.com/files/memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz

All the files above are locate in /home/davidhhuan/Software 

1. Install the libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf libevent-2.0.10-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.10-stable
./configure
sudo make
sudo make instsall

2. Install memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf memcached-1.4.5.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.4.5
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

  

3. Install memcache-2.2.6.tgz 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf memcache-2.2.6.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.6
/opt/lampp/bin/phpize

Ok, here i got these error: 

grep: /opt/lampp/include/php/main/php.h: No such file or directory
grep: /opt/lampp/include/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory
grep: /opt/lampp/include/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:
Zend Module Api No:
Zend Extension Api No:

That is because i am using xampp, and xampp does NOT provide these files which only exist in php directory! Thought I don't want to install another php in my host, but i still have to compile it to get the files, please follow the step 4. 

4. Compile php5 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf php-5.3.4.tar.bz2
cd php-5.3.4
./configure

Too bad, when i try to compile the php5, that said i don't have the libxml2! ok, see the step 5 

5. Install libxml2-2.7.2.tar.gz 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf libxml2-2.7.2.tar.gz
cd libxml2-2.7.2
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

6. Install php-5.3.4 again 

cd /home/davidhhuan/php-5.3.4
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

  

7. Move the php files to xampp 

After step 6, the included php files are located in /usr/local/include, follow it 

sudo cp -rf /usr/local/include/php /opt/lampp/include/php

8. Install memcache-2.2.6 again

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software/memcache-2.2.6
/opt/lampp/bin/phpize

OMG, i still met some errors: 

PHP Api Version:         20041225
Zend Module Api No:      20060613
Zend Extension Api No:   220060519
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable is set correctly and then rerun this script.

so, i have to install autoconf, see step 9 

9. Install autoconf 

cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
sudo tar -zvxf m4-1.4.9.tar.gz
cd m4-1.4.9/
./configure 
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ../
sudo wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.62.tar.gz
sudo tar -zvxf autoconf-2.62.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.62/
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

10. Install memcache-2.2.6 again again! 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software/memcache-2.2.6
/opt/lampp/bin/phpize
./configure

-_-! I met errors: 

checking for the location of ZLIB... no
checking for the location of zlib... configure: error: memcache support requires ZLIB. Use --with-zlib-dir=<DIR> to specify prefix where ZLIB include and library are located
No problem, just install zlib 

Go, go, go, step 11 can help you! :) 

11. Install zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software
tar zxf zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.5
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

12. Install memcache-2.2.6 again again again! 

cd /home/davidhhuan/Software/memcache-2.2.6
./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

Thank goodness! At last i can compile outthe memcache.so, that is the message: 

Installing shared extensions:     /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

  

13. Copy the memcache.so to xampp 

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/memcache.so /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/memcache.so

14. Configure the php.ini 

extension=memcache.so

15. Configure the service of memcache

a. start the memcache server.

/usr/bin/memcached -d -m 100 -u davidhhuan -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 -c 256 -P /tmp/memcached.pid 

　　-d: set to daemon 

　　-m: max running memory, units:MB

　　-u: the user of memcached

　　-l: the server IP

　　-p: the port

　　-c: The maximum number of simultaneous connections running, default is 1024

　　-P: the file to save the memcache

b. stop the server.

kill 'cat /tmp/memcached.pid'

You can also start multi thread to run the server, the port must be different. 

c. Restart the apache.

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Example:

<?php
$mem = new Memcache;
$mem->connect("127.0.0.1", 11211);
$mem->set("key", "This is a test!", 0, 60);
$val = $mem->get("key");
echo $val;
?>

All are done!

Hope this article will help you to install the memcache!
