#444 [Com]: /usr/local/bin/pear: segmentation fault

ID: 444 Comment by: sw at telemeida dot ch Reported By: sw at telemedia dot ch Status: Bogus Bug Type: Bug System Operating System: OpenBSD PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: ok, got that. thanks again for your help! Cheers, -S Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-17 05:22:20] sw at telemeida dot ch i just installed the latest pear version. i checked the HEAD version of the pear script in the CVS: http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/pear/scripts/pear.sh?r=1.2.2.2 php is called with -C and will, therefore still crash with php 4.2 versions. with -c /path/to/ini or by just ommitting the -C arg it works fine. my question: why does the php binary crash on OpenBSD when the -C arg is supplied (other unknown args will just display the php -h witouth dieing)? would i have to install a newer php version then (something past 3.3)?

Sure, *BSD are clean systems. But the problem is more about the package status and the too long delay between new ports (the same apply on debian). I do not use *BSD and no special clue about ports. So if you know someone that have both the time and the clue to maintain uptodate ports of php and/or pear feel free to send us a link to the download page/uri. > altough the -C option is also not available). Requires an update of php too. Please note we are now on the 4.3.4. pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-17 05:10:07] sw at telemedia dot ch thanks for your help pierre. maybe this is something for the OpenBSD packager. the problem (imho) is that ppl with few or no knowledge of php/pear (maybe a sys admin who installs the php package) may not find this problem quickly ... >BSD port, even if it is an usefull system, should >actually not be used to install pear (and/or php but >this is another topic). OpenBSD has a very clean directory layout (other than eg. linux). this is the reason why the package will most probably rather be installed trough the package manager than from source (due to the preset installation paths for lib, binm, etc...). since the pear script itself came originally from here (altough its old) i tought i'd mention the problem (with the same version on linux i don't get a segmentation fault, altough the -C option is also not available). Cheers, -S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-17 05:02:10] pajoye@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please visit http://pear.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PEAR. OK, my thought was right. Please upgrade your pear installation using go-pear. See the pear manual for the procedure. BSD port, even if it is an usefull system, should actually not be used to install pear (and/or php but this is another topic). I set it as bogus(not a developer issue) as we not responsible of external packages or installation tools. Contact openBSD php maintainers to get their ports uptodated if you still like to use them. thanks for your interest, pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-17 04:57:41] sw at telemedia dot ch --shell <b2-143:/usr/ports/www/php4/extensions/pkg>#php -v 4.2.3 <b2-143:/usr/ports/www/php4/extensions/pkg>#pear -V unrecognized option -- V Usage: pear [options] command [command-options] <parameters> Type "pear help options" to list all options.
