Be sure to remove *all* old pear stuffs, in your php folders, all others tests, temps, etc... Unset all environment variables related to pear. Run go-pear using one of this way: // 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 When you are done with that, the line defining pear.in in pear.bat may point to the wrong place, update it according your installation tree. Another "error" is the c:\php4 folder, it will be created always, whatever you set as the pear prefix. We cannot currently fix it, this path is hardcoded in binary php releases. hth pa
