pear borked

I did "pear upgrade-all" and upgraded a number of modules. I then
immediately tried to use pear to install a new module and got this:

bash: /usr/bin/pear: No such file or directory

WTF! It looks like the upgrade-all caused pear to nuke itself. So how
do I manually install pear? I can't exactly remove PHP and reinstall it
as it's on a live system for ecommerce.

The distro is Red Hat Enterprise 3

I've had problems in the past with PEAR, I like it's functionality but
boy does it cause me some headaches. Here's one way to go about it:

http://www.sitepoint.com/article/get...ed-with-pear/2

You can also go from here:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.manually.php

And this article talks about what to do if you're installing on a
shared hosting service:

http://www.phphub.com/pear_manual/in...on.shared.html

Hope that helps.

I've been battling to install PEAR on Windows XP now for too long. I am not sure what I need to do. When I run go-pear.php from the command line, I get the error message as shown at the end. I included everything in case there is something there that's helpful. I'm trying to install PEAR so that I can use PHPUnit. Thanks for the help!!!!

I remember having problems with pear when I first installed it but got it running some time ago. This is on a windoze XP SP OS. I did not think it was correct because it pointed to "C\php\pear\PEAR". I writing a pear front-end GUI and I want to have it installed correctly. It seemed to have some duplication of directories between the lower and upper cased pear dir names. Should there be a "php\pear\PEAR" subdirectory? I thought it should...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
