Perhaps that is an issue for a less specific forum... The easy way to think of it, is Marc Liyanage's php build for mac os x places everything in /usr/local/php5. So the pear command you'll want to use is /usr/local/php5/bin/pear, and for cli /usr/local/php5/bin/php... and the pear packages for php5 in apache are stored in /usr/local/php/lib/php I usually delete my mac os x shipped /usr/bin/php and /usr/bin/pear and then symbolically link /usr/bin/php (and pear) to /usr/local/php5/bin/php etc. But remember, you'll have to do this every time an update from Apple upgrades php. The apache webserver won't be affected after subsequent updates from apple, just the overwritten /usr/bin/php and /usr/bin/pear. Or, if you want to keep a cli version of php 4 around for some strange reason you can always do that --- and whenever you want to install a pear package for php5/apache run it directly from /usr/local/php5/bin/pear, or pear config-set your php_dir, data_dir, docs_dir etc etc. Thanks again for the lightning response! > - Hide quoted text - > Cheers Ollie > -- > Ask me about CSS > > -- > PEAR General Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- -Brett http:saltybeagle.com aim:ianswerq
