Otherwise, you can install PEAR directly just as PHP does, using install-pear-nozlib.phar, check out the pear/ directory in your unix-based PHP distribution for the Makefile.frag that shows usage. After PEAR is installed, you can install packages directly from tarball via the command-line. pear install Package-1.2.3.tgz Greg P.S. PEAR questions are best asked on pear-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, the best support for PEAR is on that list. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
