Re: PEAR clases don't work with PHP 5.3

Hi, for Image_Graph these things are already fixed in SVN. Could you please try a current checkout? There are some other things which I've been lately working on for cleanup in Image_Graph, so Image_Graph is currently in not such an ideal relase-state. But I'll see to release an updated package soon as well. Meanwhile, an SVN-checkout will help you. Since Image_Graph was in alpha-stage anyway, I've weighted the pros and cons and decided to go post-PHP5 with the next release.
