Pear on OS/2

More on the Pear on OS/2 issue. As I told you some time ago there seems to be some kind of issue with the tmpdir() and mktemp() function of the PEAR module. I used go-pear and it only installed three packages, so I had to manually install XML_RPC... that's the result: [D:\usr\local\share\pear]pear install XML_RPC + tmp dir created at /tmp/tmpa00159 downloading XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz ... ...done: 11,991 bytes + tmp dir created at ./tmpa00159 Unable to open in read mode (2) '/tmp/tmpa00159\tmpa00159\XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz' 1 [D:\usr\local\share\pear] As you see the second temp dir crawls up one level (and that's wrong), while the Tar.Php module seens not able to locate the file (in fact the file is in /tmp/tmpa00159/XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz). I've tracked down the "crawling" bug to be in System.PHP among the mktemp() function in the following code section:

/*        if (isset($tmp_is_dir)) {
            unlink($tmp); // be careful possible race condition here
            if (!call_user_func('mkdir', $tmp, 0700)) {
                return System::raiseError("Unable to create temporary directory $tmpdir");
            }
        } */

I've "REMmed" out the code and everything seems to work ok now. I'll try to install XML_RPC now.
