Re: PEAR::Auth won't install

Well, as I said, the problem was fixed with the addition of the zlib library to my PHP. However prior to this fix, I wasn't getting checksum errors on ALL the packages, in fact out of the five I installed only AUTH gave me trouble. The manual says to skip the lynx step if you have PHP >4.3.0pre1 (I had 4.3.0) so I did. Can someone verify the mechanism for pulling down packages if zlib isn't part of the PHP compile? Does the server gunzip the tgz on the fly or was it gunzipped by an author and placed in archive next to the tgz?
