about 3 months ago I set up a local install of pear on my web host account (a
cpanel system).
A couple days ago, my hosting company upgraded us to php 4.4.2-dev. I started
seeing a lot of warnings coming out my PEAR includes:
"Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in
/home/headbonk/pear/lib/DB.php on line 1132" and other similar ones.
So I figured maybe PEAR needs an upgrade to go with the php upgrade.
I did pear upgrade-all and that seemed to fix some of the warnings - not sure I
didn't keep track of exactly which modules were giving warnings.
I also go a couple messages from the pear installer that I didn't understand:
Failed to download pear/Archive_Tar (recommended version 1.3.1), latest release
is version 1.3.2, stability "stable", use
"channel://pear.php.net/Archive_Tar-1.3.2" to install
/tmp/glibctestqGYBFW:1:22: features.h: No such file or directory
pear/PEAR dependency package "pear/Archive_Tar" installed version 1.3.2 is not
the recommended version 1.3.1, but may be compatible, use --force to install
I started poking around, and found that pear -V reports my PHP version # as
4.3.10. phpinfo() in my document root reports the php version as 4.4.2-dev.
My gut is just to redo the local install from scratch, but I don't know if
there's something I need to worry about going on. I could just set a higher
error reporting level in my .htaccess file.
Any suggestions? Enlightenment?
Hi Colin,
Your setup sounds just fine to me.
The "features.h" message is a bug in PEAR 1.4.4 that is fixed in PEAR
1.4.5 that will be released any day now, and Archive_Tar is a brand new
version, so automatic upgrade is disallowed until it can be tested in
the wild. THis is because if it were to break PEAR, this would make it
difficult to grab any packages. Hwoever, if you would like, upgrading
via "pear upgrade --loose Archive_Tar" should work, or "pear upgrade
--force Archive_Tar"
You do not need to re-install from scratch. Your host has an older CLI
version of PHP than the PHP version used by apache.
