#18568 [Com]: PEAR installation does not honor INSTALL_ROOT

ID: 18568 Comment by: andreas@conectiva.com.br Reported By: vogel@folz.de Status: Open Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Redhat 7.0 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-07-25 New Comment: I have the same problem. The PEAR install is ignoring INSTALL_ROOT and trying to install things directly into /usr/share/pear: (...) Installing PEAR environment: /home/andreas/svn/BUILDROOT/usr/share/pear/ make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andreas/svn/php4/BUILD/php4-200209250900/build-apache' Warning: mkdir(/usr/share/pear/.registry) [http://www.php.net/function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/andreas/svn/php4/BUILD/php4-200209250900/pear/System.php on line 236 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-25 13:52:22] sniper@php.net reclassified ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-25 12:16:11] vogel@folz.de I reported this bug already as part of bug #14401. But when I compare snapshots php4-200207170600 (see #14401, important parts cited below) and todays php4-200207250000, there seems to be no work done to fix the PEAR install. The relevant parts of my reports to bug #14401: The PEAR installation fails right at it's start: $ make install INSTALL_ROOT=/var/tmp/php-root [/bin/sh libtool command omitted for brevity] Installing PHP SAPI module Installing shared extensions: /var/tmp/php-root/usr/lib/php4/ Installing PHP CLI binary: /var/tmp/php-root/usr/bin/ Installing PEAR environment: /var/tmp/php-root/usr/share/pear/ Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 503 is not allowed to access /usr/share owned by uid 0 in /home/vogel/rpm/BUILD/php4-200207170600/pear/System.php on line 235 This last message is repeated _many_ times, with some "Warning: version_compare() expects parameter 2" messages interspersed. I can reproduce this in various ways (i. e. building using rpm or doing the same "by hand"; changing configure options did not help in any way). [and later:] But what I did not find: How is "make" supposed to pass the INSTALL_ROOT variable on to the php scripts that it executes when the install-pear-installer and install-pear-packages targets are called? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18568&edit=1
