PEAR install gone strange

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could help me out with a bit of wierd prob. I
have pear installed in a UNIX box, with PHP 5.1.2. I'm trying to
install some packages by running pear install package.tgz, but always
end up with something like ....

pear/XML_Parser requires package "pear/PEAR"
No valid packages found
install failed

So i try to install PEAR package and end up with ...

Skipping package "pear/PEAR", already installed as version 1.4.6
No valid packages found
install failed

I run pear list ....

Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:
=============== =============== ===========
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2 stable
XML_RPC 1.5.0 stable

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be happening here??

Thanks,
J

Is there an easy way to do this?? I'm new to the server side of things.
Would re-installing mean a recompile of PHP??

The manual gives all assurances of how easy this is, and it might be. What I thought was strange was, this line: "Pick a location to store your local copy of the remote code. " ex: uses C:\remote\pear Later install packages, and they transparently, get uploaded as well. Does this mean you have have PEAR installed in 2 different places on your local machine? C:\php\pear would be standard location.

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
