Hi everyone,

I am currently working with PHP 7.3.5 installed via Homebrew. Until here, everything is okay.
Today i wanted to install xDebug with pecl so i did a pecl install xdebug everything was running good until i get this error message :

`Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.5/pecl/20180731/xdebug.so'

Warning: mkdir(): File exists in System.php on line 294
PHP Warning: mkdir(): File exists in /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.5/share/php/pear/System.php on line 294

Warning: mkdir(): File exists in /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.5/share/php/pear/System.php on line 294
ERROR: failed to mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.5/pecl/20180731`

Is there any link with the symlink in /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.5/ ? Check it ou :

[7.3.5] $ ls -la lrwxr-xr-x 1 anthony staff 23 24 mai 00:47 pecl -> /usr/local/lib/php/pecl

So, what's the content of /usr/local/lib/php/pecl then?

I had the same problem, there was a pecl shortcut in /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.1.22/ I just deleted that and it worked. I'm assuming it wasn't needed since it didn't point anywhere.
