I see a similar issue from early last year, but I don’t know which environments that covered.

> 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.c…](https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.7/.travis.yml)

Switching from Xenial to Bionic, I get the unable to load memcached error. I didn’t see any notes about changes in Bionic or the php language setup, but I tried installing the memcached extension manually through pecl:

```auto
pecl install memcached

```

However, this hangs on a user prompt about the libmemcached directory:

> libmemcached directory [no] :

Is the memcached module support be automatically setup and loadable for bionic?
