Quick note: On a dv 3.x server I had to use /usr/lib64/php/modules
I can confirm this worked on the (dv) 4.0 with the one small path edit that @vinniefranco mentioned.

I also needed to install gcc:
yum install gccwhile running as root.You can download the latest memcached version by running
pecl install memcached, but the install fails, because the /tmp directory is not mounted as executable. You can copy the downloaded memcached dir by runningcp -R /tmp/pear/download/memcache-2.2.7/ /root/memcache-2.2.7Then change to that directory and run the command in line 8.
As of this version, memcache installs a script in /etc/init.d/memcached so you can start it by running
/etc/init.d/memcached start
