But anyway: http://go-pear.org

I tried that, it never completes and doesn't give me anything useable. apache log details: Sun Sep 2 15:13:14 2007] [error] PHP Strict Standards: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /Library/ WebServer/Documents/go-pear.php on line 770 (...) If someone has an installation in /usr/local/pear or /use/local/pear6 that works with PHP 6 I'd be happy to obtain a copy.

Ah! E_STRICT = fatal. There is no compat mode? ;-)) There is a new installer for PEAR2 in the works, but I forget where the info is at - maybe on the wiki (0). I don't have PHP6 yet, other wise I'd give it a go. Otherwise I'd search the archives for "pyrus".

Hi, I already posted a link to pyrus on internals, which for some reason didn't seem to register. http://svn.pear.php.net is the svn repository for PEAR2, pyrus is the directory for the new installer. magic quotes has been removed from php 6, and there are several other changes that render PEAR unusable in its current state. I have no interest in shooting at a moving target with the existing PEAR installer, but wouldn't turn down a simple patch or two that would make it work.

magic quotes being removed is a *good* thing...

duh :) The code in PEAR checks for it and disables it if present. Unfortunately, this uses a function that no longer exists in PHP 6.

Since it doesn't exist in PHP6 there shouldn't be an issue with requiring a function to disable it. This still doesn't help me get a working pear installation that is compatible with PHP6 though.
