Problems with PEAR package manager

Hi, Not sure if these should go to the PEAR-Dev or general list... I can't get the package manager installed properly: -----------8<-------------- narrow-gauge% cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login (Logging in to cvsread@cvs.php.net) CVS password: narrow-gauge% lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | sh This script will install the PEAR Installer command 'pear' and all the files needed by it. The 'pear' command is the tool that can manage PEAR packages downloaded both from the PEAR website (http://pear.php.net) or from the 'pear/' CVS module of cvs.php.net. With this script you can also download and install the common PEAR files from CVS that also come with any PHP distribution (located at php4/pear in CVS). The common PEAR files means classes like PEAR DB, XML_Parser, IT template engine or Mail. Please read the FAQ at http://pear.php.net/faq.php for more information. For an explanation on how to use the PEAR Installer or what PEAR packages are, visit: http://cvs.php.net/co.php/pearweb/doc/pear_package_manager.txt Which filename do you want to use for the 'pear' executable?

Any idea what the problem is?
