Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-20 11:39:10] arthur at cpt dot co dot il hi Klaus, i would well love to build from src, with some tips. i know now that the version installed is RaQ4-PHP-4.3.4 and would like to upgrade it rather than installing concurrent version, or perhaps breaking everything. could i integrate PEAR into existing php installation, what do you think? your help is greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-20 09:31:51] klaus at capitalfocus dot org 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... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
