[...] Hi, afaik this is just a problem of a dependency inside the package. If you have the pear-package XML_RPC installed this will also work without problems without the need for xmlrpc as a php-module. Although xmlrpc as a module is considered faster, the pear-package is fine as well. Unfortunately the dependencies are on xmlrpc (the module) currently. Simply install with pear upgrade --nodeps PEAR and you should be done. Regards, Stefan
