I was trying to install xdebug, had to run phpize command.

I have php5-devl already installed and pecl command works

When I ran the command, it gave me the following error output:

# phpize
Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php
The php-devel package is required for use of this command.

How to fix this error?

pecl centos php

If you're on PHP 7 such as in my case just installing php-devel won't solve your problems, but you'll need to install some additional packages:

yum install php-devel pcre-devel gcc make

And then you'll be able to follow Harikrishnan steps to get xdebug working (if not yet configured).
