Re: [SLE] SuSE 10 - Problems with PEAR

The answer was that the base PEAR Installation package isn't installed with SuSE via the phpx-pear package, and this must be installed separately. The problem is you cannot install the latest version of PEAR by using the syntax pear install PEAR as it ironically requires a version of PEAR to already be installed. To install the PEAR package, you have to specify an older version such like: pear install http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.3.1.tgz then upgrade to the latest version (1.4.1) using pear install PEAR Regards, SteveC

"Stephen Carter" 12/29/05 2:57 PM >>> I'm trying to install the PEAR package Image_Graph (forced install to override 'stable' only package preferences as it's still in Apha) but I get an error that PEAR Installer is too old and needs to be at least v1.3.1. I have installed apache2, php4 & php4-pear from the SuSE10 Eval DVD.

I also installed gd, php-gd and all other Image_Graph dependencies using pear just fine, but the final one just doesn't want to play. 1) How do I find out what version of PEAR I am running? 2) How do I upgrade PEAR? 3) How do I install Image_Graph? I have checked older versions of this package on the website but almost all of them require at least pear v1.3.1. On SuSE 9.3 the Image_Graph package does install so I'm not sure of where to look.
