It does install php, but not > pear. I ran into the same problem, although I've gotten further than you. As root, type: pear upgrade XML_RPC You'll get the most current version of XML_RPC, so you won't get that message anymore. But the commit will still fail. What you *want* to do is: pear upgrade PEAR Unfortunately, that fails -- it appears that you can't upgrade that far. downloading PEAR-1.4.9.tgz ... Starting to download PEAR-1.4.9.tgz (283,443 bytes) .............................................done: 283,443 bytes requires package `PEAR' >= 1.3.3 PEAR: Dependencies failed When do a pear list I see that I have PEAR 1.3.2, so it's just too old. Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.6.2 stable HTTP 1.2.2 stable Mail 1.1.3 stable Net_SMTP 1.2.6 stable Net_Socket 1.0.1 stable PEAR 1.3.2 stable XML_Parser 1.0.1 stable XML_RPC 1.4.5 stable I'm not sure where I go from here. Is there a way to manually upgrade PEAR?
