Bug #5147 [Bgs]: auto installer is absent

Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5147&edit=1 ID: 5147 Updated by: klaus@capitalfocus.org Reported By: arthur at cpt dot co dot il Status: Bogus Id: 5147 Type: Bug Package: Web Site Operating System: linux-i586 PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: Try installing the cli or cgi binary. Then it should work. It sounds like you probably have a setup where there is no binary at /usr/bin/php or /usr/local/bin/php :) If you do something like that, it should start working... It might be worth building from source... :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-20 09:30:41] arthur at cpt dot co dot il btw, this worked fine: lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ but still, if i could not find php on my system, how could i install PEAR? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-20 09:24:37] arthur at cpt dot co dot il hi, first, sorry did the the post in this section - couldn't figure out a better place to go at once. important note: i run a Sun Cobalt RaQ4r appliance. it has a rather different architecture. #which php -- says no php in... which is partially true since php is working on the server same for #php -v says it's a directory, and it's damn right: #whereis php php: /usr/lib/php /usr/include/php # ls -la /usr/lib/php /usr/include/php /usr/include/php: total 13 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 May 2 18:08 . drwxr-xr-x 46 root root 4096 Aug 18 22:29 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1541 Jun 21 2001 acconfig.h drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Oct 8 2002 ext drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 8 2004 main -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120 Oct 8 2002 php_version.h drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 8 2004 regex drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 8 2004 TSRM drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 8 2004 Zend /usr/lib/php: total 10 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 May 2 18:07 . drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 8192 Aug 18 22:29 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 8 2004 build this explains fully why the script is not working. but what should i do now? thank you for your advices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-20 05:28:08] tuupola at appelsiini dot net Propably broken shell and a directory named php in current working directory? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-18 19:51:59] ohill at php dot net Do you have PHP installed and correctly running? It seems like your piping the go-pear script to the wrong place. Can you issue these commands: which php php -v And will it do the same thing if you try: lynx -source http://go-pear.org > my-pear php my-pear I'm marking this as bogus since it is not a doc problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-18 18:13:01] klaus at capitalfocus dot org It works fine for me. Sounds like you either have a problem with lynx or your php install. Try the following command: # lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ It should tell you more (maybe you need to set up a proxy or something). Anyway, this bug is bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
