It's not supposed to, I've added "nocompress" options everywhere needed, so it should work just fine without zlib: * If you do "pear install Foo" without zlib, it will actually download http://pear.php.net/get/Foo?uncompress=1, which makes the server send the file with gzreadfile. * The packages bundled with PHP are plain .tar files. Even if you enable zlib by default, PHP does not bundle zlib, it would not be available on every system, and the installer would have to support uncompressed packages anyway. IMHO it would be better to have the zlib extension installable with "pear install zlib" :-) - Stig -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
