Re: Pear Package Installer (Was HTML_QuickForm-2.0 (stable) Released)

I have PHP and PEAR and related stuff installed on an NFS mounted disk, not on /usr/local/*, so it should work OK w/ other paths. Also, if you noticed, when running % pear You get: Usage: pear [options] command [command-options] <parameters> Type "pear help options" to list all options. Type "pear help <command>" to get the help for the specified command. Commands: login logout config-show config-get config-set install uninstall upgrade package package-info package-list package-validate cvstag list-installed shell-test remote-package-info list-upgrades list-remote-packages and (in my case), when I run: % pear show-config I get: Configuration: ============== bin_dir /export/dredox1/devel_server/php/bin doc_dir /export/dredox1/devel_server/php/share/php/doc/pear ext_dir /export/dredox1/devel_server/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20010901 master_server pear.php.net password <not set> php_dir /export/dredox1/devel_server/php/lib/php preferred_state stable username <not set> verbose 1 My guess (had not tried) is that you can set config properties using "pear set-config". Also "pear help options" give you some more info. I am cc'ing this to pear-dev, so the maintainers of the pear installer can add to this info or fix what I did not understood correctly ;-) --- Tim Glen <tim@javelindigital.com> wrote: > On 5/15/02 4:52 PM, "Jesus M.
