NB: On CentOS you need to install the php-process package to get the POSIX functions used by this extension.

When deployment on CentOS_5.8_x64 , you need the following:
1. gcc44
2. boost >=1.39
3. libevent
4. php5.3+
5. update ld.so.conf
Before you start the gearman_1.1.1+.

Installing the pecl extension also required to install development packages for libevent and uuid. Those dependencies were not verified by the configuration step, resulting in rather cryptic errors.
On ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libev-libevent-dev uuid-dev
