Starting to download HTML_Template_Sigma-1.1.3.tgz (27,068 bytes) .........done: 27,068 bytes install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTML_Template_Sigma-1.1.3 What is this cpp complain ? Where is pear needing that ? Should I try to install raw pear in this state ? (HTML_Template_Sigma is just an example here) (reported on irc #pear , forward to the person possible)

I have yet another aproach for the popen() and cpp stuff: Index: Guess.php =================================================================== RCS file: /repository/pear-core/OS/Guess.php,v retrieving revision 1.19 diff -u -a -r1.19 Guess.php --- Guess.php 27 Sep 2005 02:55:26 -0000 1.19 +++ Guess.php 9 Oct 2005 01:17:14 -0000 @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ // Darwin home-eden.local 7.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.5.0: Thu Aug 5 19:26:16 PDT 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.7.21.obj~3/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh // // Mac OS X early versions -// +// // }}} @@ -207,6 +207,27 @@ if (!file_exists('/usr/bin/cpp') || !is_executable('/usr/bin/cpp')) { return $glibc = ''; } + if ($features_file = @fopen('/usr/include/features.h','rb') ) { + + while (!feof($features_file)) { + + $line = fgets($features_file, 4096); + + if ( strpos($line,'define') && strpos ($line,'__GLIBC__') ) { + //major version number + $glibc_major = substr($line ,17); + + } elseif ( strpos($line,'define') && strpos ($line,'__GLIBC_MINOR__') ) { + // got the minor version number + $glibc_minor = substr($line ,23); + + } + } + fclose($features_file); + + return 'glibc' . trim($glibc_major) .

_detectGlibcVersion() is affected by open_basedir (AFAIK) cellog: Why the glibc _version_ is specifically needed (???) what's done with that information ? probably I'm missing something...
