It seems like folks are making this too > complicated. i gotta admit i find it a little too complicated too. but the most important thing, i think is, that it scares off users to use pear. why cant we simply make it as Brent expects it (and me actually too), that you simply copy the sources and put the PEAR-dir in the include_path and go for it i saw that there is this installing stuff, but i gotta admit i always just copy the files i need in the right directory, including the CVS-directory and i can "cvs update" it too. and mails like those really scare me even more to run the installation procedure, i have to update this and that and something else ... make it easy to get it running! is there a possible way to make installation of pear easier? -- Wolfram ... translating template system ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpletpl
