Description:
------------
I am trying to use go-pear to install the latest version of PEAR on my dedicated server, yet I get repeated fails with error messages I cannot really understand. (looks like a cvs problem perhaps?)

Test script:
---------------
lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ | php

Expected result:
----------------
I should get a bunch of download .... ok messages probably followed by a bunch of bootstrap .... ok messages, then the newest PEAR would be installed.

Actual result:
--------------
 1. Installation prefix           : /usr
 2. Binaries directory            : $prefix/bin
 3. PHP code directory ($php_dir) : $prefix/share/pear
 4. Documentation base directory  : $php_dir/docs
 5. Data base directory           : $php_dir/data
 6. Tests base directory          : $php_dir/tests
 7. Temporary files directory     : /tmp/pear/cache

1-7, 'all' or Enter to continue:

The following PEAR packages are bundled with PHP: DB, Net_Socket, Net_SMTP,
Mail, XML_Parser, PHPUnit.
Would you like to install these as well? [Y/n] : Y

I am not using any proxy. I am ssh'd into a remote dedicated webserver that is essentially directly connected to the backbone.

I have tried installing PEAR like this on probably five occasions and each ocassion I run the go-pear | php command two to three times. Each time I get that CVS co error during pear bootstrapping (what is that BTW) and then after a few more packages donload I get the pear class not defined error.

To be clear I do not propose that this is a PHP error, but an error with the go-pear script and/or how that script reports errors. Is there a log of the scripts transactions so I can se where it is breaking - a verbose way to run the script?

I have also tried submitting mail to the php-install list (as suguested by the PEAR "how to report a bug" guide) but because I use horde and an alternate identitiy for my mailinglist email address I am having trouble there.

Thank you for any help,
-wade

Side note: I changed the tmp directory to /tmp/pear/cache but the script looks like it is still trying to use some auto generated character string despite my preference.
I tried running lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ | php and not changing the tmp directory but it still did not work.

Can you have a '*' in a URL (the *checkout* URL)?

What next?
Thanks again for your time!

Alright, now I feel like we are getting somewhere! THanks!

My tmp folder just has PEAR-stable, so...

I think you are right actually about my php not being the Fedora Core default (despite rpm -q php returning php-4.3.11-2.8).
I think I had to rebuild php for some Horde dependancy. To do so though I used the FC3 configure string and just added the enable tags I needed.

Here is the output of your script (starting from where it seems to differ from the go-pear.org output) - I just used the tmp folder the script sugguested:

It got further! Now it bootstraps but still fails. Does my version of PHP not have an uncompression utility? Is that perhaps why it fails at extraction?

Pierre, I sent you an ssh login and password, did you get it?

In case the reader of this bug (not you Pierre, you already know what is going on :^) ) is having the same problem, Pierre has discovered that wget http://pear.php.net/get/pear-stable on my machine is hanging for some reason (despite wget http://pear.php.net/ working just fine).

I am trying to get to the bottom of this problem and I have started a forum thread here at linuxforums.org:

But it doesn't seem like a server error or firewall problem on my side if I can connect to any URL using any tool from my server, with the single exception of the http://pear.php.net/get/pear-stable URL.

What I am guessing is the problem is that I am connecting to the 'pear-stable' script and it is just hanging waiting for an additional piece of information.

Is there any data that pear-stable is reading from the $_SERVER variable for example that I am not supplying it perhaps? (that I could put in my .wgetrc file)?
