Re: no script destination directory

Bertrand, The error message "Invalid block size : " may come from Archive_Tar. It indicates that the TAR file does not have a valid size. A TAR file is composed of several 512 bytes blocks. It seems that it is not the case for some package .... why ? I don't know .... The package .tgz file is may be corrupted ? If I remember well (but it was before all the last changes in the installer), when you do a # pear install HTML_QuickForm, the installer tries to download the package from http://pear.php.net web site. Today there is no package.

Any idea why I get this ? # pear install HTML_QuickForm Invalid block size : 58 It seems to happen with some other packages as well but it works fine with DB, Archive_Tar and XML_RPC.
