Re: PEAR installations (was "Re: [PHP] Re: talking to a web page")

Justin, et al -- ..and then Justin Patrin said... % % Well, technically, you should be using the PEAR installer script to % install PEAR packages. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php Oh. Oops :-) % % Barring that, you can make yourself a PEAR directory somewhere and add % it to your include_path in your php.ini. Well, I already have PEAR (and some modules), it appears: bash-2.05a$ ls -lFd /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Oct 25 2002 /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/ So what I suppose I need to learn is now to install PEAR modules from there. Aha! I see /usrlocal/bin/pear :-) OK. Server 1: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, PHP 4.2.3 (I think) bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:') in <b>/usr/local/bin/pear</b> on line <b>27</b><br /> Server 2: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, PHP 4.3.3rc1 (I think) bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request For this remote PEAR operation you need to install the XML_RPC package bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install XML_RPC HTTP_Client HTTP_Request downloading XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz ... Starting to download XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz (11,991 bytes) .....done: 11,991 bytes bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request For this remote PEAR operation you need to install the XML_RPC package It looks like my include_path is messed up on server1; I'll look into that. I've no idea what's up with server2, though; I DID install the XML_RPC package % % Also note that you have to have all of the dependencies for those % packages. Easiest way to go is to use the PEAR installer if you're just % getting started. I'd love to :-) Please forgive me; I only know from perl -MCPAN -e shell and away I go :-) Thanks again & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
