RE: [PEAR] go-pear.org not working for me

Thanks for the reply Arnaud, I am using PHP 4.3.1. Here are the locations from the install script 1. Installation prefix : d:\oracle\ora90\apache\php 2. Binaries directory : $prefix 3. PHP code directory : d:\oracle\ora90\apache\apache\htdocs\includes\pear 4. Documentation base directory : $php_dir\docs 5. Data base directory : $php_dir\data 6. Tests base directory : $php_dir\tests To be honest, I find these options poorly named. From the 6 options as seen, I am not sure what to put where. There should be some notes in the script to help someone like me understand (eg. 1. Installation prefix [this is the location of your php.exe file], 2. Binaries directory [location of php.exe] etc...). <--- Bear in mind the parenthesised material is an example only, don't chastise me saying "there's no php.exe in unix". The point is I think it could be more clear. Anyhow, towards the end of the script output, the following line was displayed: The 'pear' command is now at your service at d:\oracle\ora90\apache\php\pear This is clearly not the case. There is no file or directory named pear at d:\oracle\ora90\apache\php\pear. I did find pear.bat at D:\oracle\ora90\Apache\Apache\htdocs\includes\pear\scripts\pear.bat but here is the contents (minus rems): set PHP_PATH=c:\php set PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=c:\php\pear set PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR=c:\php\extensions set PEAR_DOC_DIR=c:\php\pear\docs REM ------------------- set DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR=\ %PHP_PATH%\php.exe -q %PEAR_INSTALL_DIR%\scripts\pear.in %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 I have changed the above pear.bat to match my system and it seems to work. However, it still seems the go-pear.org script did not work correctly, even if it did create this file. Perhaps whomever maintains that script could confirm whether there is a problem.
