Indeed, the situation will be solved with 4.3.0 as it will be bundled with the pear installer. For the moment use the go-pear script as follows, this will update the pear command (copy/paste of a post from pierre-alain). Using go-pear : // The *nix cool way # php -r "include 'http://pear.php.net/go-pear';" // Windows & CLI # php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" | php // Tradicional Unix # lynx -source http://pear.php.net/go-pear | php // Modern Unix # wget -qO- pear.php.net/go-pear | php -q // CGI version hax0r # php -d auto_prepend_file=http://pear.php.net/go-pear // Tradicional Windows Start->Applications->Internet Explorer Type in the URL box: http://pear.php.net/go-pear Menu bar: File->Save As->c:\go-pear Start->Run Command Type: command In the console type: php -f c:\go-pear You will need to upgrade the pear.in script found on the cvs under php4/pear/scripts too > thanks > > ps: there are many packages I would really like to play with, and this is > really getting very frustrating ! :) hth.
