Don't use all-caps please. This is considered shouting and I take  
offense for being yelled at for no good reason at all.

This is not Horde related, you're attempting to install a version of  
memcache that is incompatible with the installed PHP version. You'll  
need to provide the version number of memcache that supports PHP7  
(4.0.5.2 is memory serves).

I don't think Horde is already fully tested with PHP8, so for the time  
being it is probably best to stick to PHP7.
