I could eliminate this requirement, at the expense of a larger .phar file (3.3MB instead of 640k). > I have have a patch for configure.in that is ready that will add a check > for zlib in the configure process to avoid the make install bailing. > > 2.

Better (I discussed this with Andi, but haven't had time to do anything fruitful yet) is to write a short PHP script that would download it. Just now, it occurs to me that by changing the wget call in Makefile.frag from: wget http://pear.php.net/install-pear.phar -nd -P $(srcdir); to: @$(top_builddir)/sapi/cli/php -dallow_url_fopen=1 -r "$a = file_get_contents('http://pear.php.net/install-pear.phar');file_put_contents($_SERVER['argv'][1] . '/install-pear.phar',$a);" $(srcdir) this might be our cross-platform ticket. Could one of you kind folks try this, and commit if it works? Thanks, Greg
