Re: pear install - raising error!

try changing this (in PEAR/Installer.php

    Installer::_installFile()

if (!empty($atts['baseinstalldir']) && $atts['role'] != 'doc') {

           $dest_dir .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $atts['baseinstalldir'];
       }

to if (!empty($atts['baseinstalldir']) && ($atts['baseinstalldir'] != '/') && $atts['role'] != 'doc') {

           $dest_dir .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $atts['baseinstalldir'];
       }

the baseinstalldir in the pear file is confusing things... regards alan Urs Gehrig wrote:
