Issues installing PHP amqp extension and librabbitMQ

I am having some issues installing PHP amqp extension on a machine running Amazon Linux AMI.

I've managed to install librabbitmq-c (https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c) by downloading the latest tar and running those commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
sudo cmake --build . [--config Release] --target install

Installation completed successfully.

Next, I tried to install php amqp by running

sudo pecl7 install amqp

but got an error saying that it could not find the rabbitmq files.

I executed it again and defined the path as /usr/local/lib64/, but this time got the following (pretty generic) error message:

configure: error: Please reinstall the librabbitmq distribution itself or (re)install librabbitmq development package if it available in your system

Anyone has any idea on to how get past this?
