Second, the --nocompress (-Z) has no effect. In fact, the zipd tarball gets downloaded despite the option: % pear -vvvvv install -Z Log + tmp dir created at /tmp/tmpJvhC5E downloading Log-1.8.4.tgz ... Starting to download Log-1.8.4.tgz (29,453 bytes) .........done: 29,453 bytes (hangs) Third, there's no other details regarding the progress of install that I can deduce. When I look in the temporary directory, there is only the downloaded tarball. % ls -a /tmp/tmpJvhC5E . .. Log-1.8.4.tgz That would suggest that it might be hanging on a zlib decompression, since the tarball isn't unpacked. So I just unpacked it. I saw in the help for 'pear install' that I could pass install the package.xml file, so I just did: % pear install package.xml Optional dependencies: 'sqlite' PHP extension is recommended to utilize some features file docs/guide.txt in package.xml does not exist That didn't work, so I take a look in package.xml. It refers to relative files inside the Log-1.8.4 directory, so I just 'mv package.xml Log-1.8.4' and try again: % pear install package.xml Optional dependencies: 'sqlite' PHP extension is recommended to utilize some features install ok: Log 1.8.4 Success. A quick PHP test file proved that Log was installed correctly. So this suggests that zlib is not functioning properly, but what the problem is I cannot determine. I followed PHP build instructions at http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/php.html and I installed zlib v1.1.4, which means that libz.a is in /usr/local/lib. I just now compiled the zlib example.c and it ran fine. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be happy to give it a try. I'm surprised that no other OS X users have experienced the same problem. At least I have a workaround for now. -d -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for. Try it for free
