缺少PHP包括（.h）

Question

I am trying to install a PHP extension mongodb for non-default php binary location. I am using PECL:

sudo pecl install mongodb

and after long logs I get this

/tmp/pear/temp/mongodb/src/bson.c:29:17: fatal error: php.h: No such file or directory
 #include <php.h>
          ^
compilation terminated.
Makefile:338: recipe for target 'src/bson.lo' failed
make: *** [src/bson.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed

How can I get rid of this?

• OS: Ubuntu 15.10
• PHP Version: 5.6.10
• /usr/include has no php.h
• /usr/include/php5/include has no files
• I have installed PHP via apt-get
• I have installed and reinstalled php5-dev package

The same solution as here: Attempting to install OAuth on Ubuntu but getting errors

Install the PCRE Library (Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library) with:

# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
