I need much more information to help. pear -V, run the same command as pear -vvvv upgrade -f liveuser, whether you're using sudo, and so on. This is a serious error, one that should never occur under any circumstance. It's generally caused by a locking or permissions issue. Greg,

I ran it as root and all went fine. Thanks. Is it possible to install PEAR as a normal user? I think I have tried it before but I always ran into trouble if something had to be compiled. I guess it depends on the underlying permissions setup. Jeroen
