To Reproduce

Install the latest libxml2 - 2.13.3

brew install libxml2

or

brew upgrade libxml2

Install php

asdf install php 8.2.14

NOTE: I also tried 8.2.23, 8.2.22, 8.3.11, etc

Pear and pecl are missing from the new installation

pecl --version
pear --version
cat $(which pecl)
cat $(which pear)

There were a couple times where Pear seemed to be partially installed with 8.2.23, but I couldn't repeat it.

Describe the Bug

This bug is related to an issue with php itself. See here

Apparently, libxml2@2.13.3 is incompatible with some of the php builds. According to that ticket, there is a fix in the pipeline, but it clearly hasn't propagated yet.

I'm creating this post to share a solution for anyone else who comes across this issue

Expected Behaviour

The expected behavior is that PECL/PEAR are installed along with the corresponding version unless you explicitly exclude them.

I solved this by installing libxml2 @ 2.12.9. Steps are here
