Re: Pear Installer Config Question

Hi Matt, $ pear help options This will tell you everything. I believe -c filename will tell PEAR to use filename as the local configuration, and -C filename will tell PEAR to use filename as the system config. I've had good luck specifying a local config. Then, in the future, all you need is $ pear -c localconfig install Package if you want a script, you can simply modify the existing pear script and add in the -c localconfig.

Hi, I know this has been on the list before; sorry but I'm having trouble tracking down the info. How can I setup the existing pear installer so that I can have another pear installation on the same machine? I don't actually want to reinstall the pear installer, I just want to configure the existing one so that it points to another location without messing up the currently installed pear src tree. I thought I might just write a wrapper script with all the options in there, but I'm not sure which options I should specify and which I should leave alone. Example: #!/bin/sh pear -v \ -d foo=bar \ -d php_dir=/web/lib/php \ and so on... Any advice, pointers to some documentation on this, or other posts would be much appreciated. Many Thanks, Matt.
