This is not suspicious. It is self-explanatory, not a problem, not a bug. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Greg, your answer is even more suspicious. If "Class file not found" is neither a problem, nor a bug, what is it? Why does it appear in the output? Doesn't "pear: not found" mean that make tried to run pear in the $PATH and shell produced this error in the stderr? Shouldn't it run $prefix/bin/pear only? What's about PHP_Archive? Shouldn't it be there in the sources? In other words, I see two bugs there: 1. PHP depends on the system-wide installed pear and tries to run it. 2. One or many files are missed in the package producing the "Archive.php class file not found" error.

1. you're wrong, PHP does not depend on system-wide installed pear, it will simply use it if present 2. nothing is missing. see http://pear.php.net/PHP_Archive If installed, phar.phar will function (partially) without the phar extension being present. In other words, not a problem, not a bug.

Greg, Can the messages be enhanced e.g. explaining what will happen in these cases? For example "pear: not found. Using XXX instead" would help users for #1. Chris -- Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/ghrd
