PEAR CLI: non-existent class: pear_command_remote-init

While trying to package I got this error: $ pear package ../MachII/package.xml Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: pear_command_remote-init in /usr/lib/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 271 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging Cannot rename //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf to //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.0.conf Cannot unlink //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf read_config_store open failure on //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf read_config_store open failure on //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf read_config_store open failure on //var/lib/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf I thought maybe my pear install got hosed when I upgraded to PHP 4.3.11 (via Gentoo portage) so I ran a pear upgrade pear and several dependencies failed, including pear! So reinstalled deps and pear. Same error on packaging. So... Ran a: # lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ | php and it went smoothly: ... install ok: PEAR 1.3.5 install ok: Archive_Tar 1.3.1 install ok: Console_Getopt 1.2 install ok: XML_RPC 1.2.2 install ok: DB 1.7.6 install ok: Net_Socket 1.0.6 install ok: Net_SMTP 1.2.6 install ok: Mail 1.1.4 install ok: XML_Parser 1.2.6 install ok: PHPUnit 1.2.2 The 'pear' command is now at your service at /usr/bin/pear Same error and pear seems to be dead: # pear upgrade pear Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: pear_command_remote-init in /usr/lib/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 271 # pear Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: pear_command_remote-init in /usr/lib/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 271 Should I wipe it and start over? -Alan -- Alan Richmond Aardwolf Web http://www.aardwolfweb.com
