#### Post date: [February 11, 2019, 1:19pm UTC](https://travis-ci.community/t/unable-to-load-dynamic-library-memcached-so/2232/1 "2019-02-11T13:19:33Z")
At the moment the memcached extension isn’t loaded anymore for at least PHP versions 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3. I believe this suddenly has stopped working for an unknown reason. I haven’t pinpointed the exact time when this happened because of the sheer large amount of builds for the library.
If you look at the following build you’ll see that all are reporting “Unable to load dynamic library memcached.so”: [https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/builds/491357145](https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/builds/491357145)
Here’s our Travis setup: [https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.7/.travis.yml](https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.7/.travis.yml)
We’re using Xenial as dist.
We’re enabling the memcached extension as described in the docs here (which has always worked in the past): [https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/7725e6434206e086a9d67ed86728f8832be4192b/.travis.yml#L32](https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/7725e6434206e086a9d67ed86728f8832be4192b/.travis.yml#L32)
Because of this our Memcached tests are being skipped. We’ve enabled skipping to allow tests to still run locally even if you don’t have Memcached installed on your local machine.
If you look at the following build where we install memcached ourselves with PECL, all works as expected: [https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/builds/491620024](https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/builds/491620024)

We built the 7.3.1 archive 4 days ago, and it is complaining about the header file `memcached.h` [https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/490240941#L5230](https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/490240941#L5230). It appears that `./configure` did not (does not?) exit with nonzero status upon error, so we continued with the rest of the build.
Could you try specifying `7.3.0` to see if that works for you?

And similarly for 7.2.15 [https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/490418245#L3708](https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/490418245#L3708)

Just to post a +1 complaint… we had to revert to Trusty as a quick fix to stop all builds from failing, and we’re hesitant to add a workaround for PECL installation.

Btw unrelated but I see these errors popping up a lot as well lately. Seems Travis has problems with pre-installing PHP versions sometimes: [https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/jobs/491694867](https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/jobs/491694867)

Hitting this issue as well. Seems ok for the PHP 7.1 Xenial build, but not the PHPS 7.2.

We’re also hitting this for PHP 7.1 on Xenial although the error message is slightly different: [https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/jobs/491694866#L478](https://travis-ci.org/laravel/framework/jobs/491694866#L478)

I thought that Xenial’s package was good enough, but apparently I was wrong.
I’ll look at fixing the process.

The ones that have passed already should have `libmemcached.so` in the archive; e.g.,
```auto

I’ll keep an eye on these jobs and restart them if they fail for transient errors.
If your archive has been built **and** still showing problems, do let me know.

You are using [Trusty](https://travis-ci.org/mrclay/minify/jobs/615817708#L10), with an old PHP 7.0.25 binary that was compiled on [October 26 2017](https://travis-ci.org/mrclay/minify/jobs/615817708#L511). You should move to Xenial and/or Try a different, newer version of PHP.
