% Well, technically, you should be using the PEAR installer script to 
% install PEAR packages. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php

Oh.  Oops :-)


% 
% Barring that, you can make yourself a PEAR directory somewhere and add 
% it to your include_path in your php.ini.

Well, I already have PEAR (and some modules), it appears:

  bash-2.05a$ ls -lFd /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR
  drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  512 Oct 25  2002 /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/

So what I suppose I need to learn is now to install PEAR modules from
there.

Aha!  I see /usrlocal/bin/pear :-)  OK.

Server 1: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, PHP 4.2.3 (I think)
  bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request
  <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>:  Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='.:') 
in <b>/usr/local/bin/pear</b> on line <b>27</b><br />

Server 2: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, PHP 4.3.3rc1 (I think)
  bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request
  For this remote PEAR operation you need to install the XML_RPC package
  bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install XML_RPC HTTP_Client HTTP_Request
  downloading XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz ...
  Starting to download XML_RPC-1.0.4.tgz (11,991 bytes)
  .....done: 11,991 bytes
  bash-2.05a$ sudo pear install HTTP_Client HTTP_Request
  For this remote PEAR operation you need to install the XML_RPC package

It looks like my include_path is messed up on server1; I'll look into
that.  I've no idea what's up with server2, though; I DID install the
XML_RPC package


% 
% Also note that you have to have all of the dependencies for those 
% packages. Easiest way to go is to use the PEAR installer if you're just 
% getting started.

I'd love to :-)  Please forgive me; I only know from

  perl -MCPAN -e shell

and away I go :-)


Thanks again & HAND

:-D
