Issue with installing Intl on OSX

Questions
#1

Hey, so I’ve been having an issue with installing Intl. I’m on OSX high sierra with brew installed, using php 71

I tried this but as you can see it fails any ideas as to what it is moaning about ~ thanks in advance:

This seems like a environment issue - a quick Google suggests that you need additional packages (see here for an example) to fix that problem.

I have managed to work this out. I’m leaving the instructions for anyone else that may come across this issue.

First uninstall php completely with brew, then run the brew update and brew doctor commands.

now install with brew php71 (changed the version as needed) intl is included in the build so you away.

to confirm it is working run php -m you will see the intl extension there. If not check the php.ini file and make sure the extension is being loaded.

Yeah so my windows and linux environments are okay, it’s specific to OSX, lots of Googling before coming here. Seems like the Brew packages are in a mess and some have been removed, so I’m trying to see if anyone has additional advice.
