I found a way round the first installer problem, sort of...
After installing Console_Getopt 0.11 (and thus disabling my old PEAR
installer), I extracted the new PEAR package files to my PEAR tree
without actually installing the files. This enabled me to run the new
version of the PEAR installer with no problems, & you'll no doubt be
pleased to hear that this solved my problem with installing DB_ado.
Anyway, I then tried to install the PEAR package properly & create
the registry file (to avoid all this hassle again) using :
pear install PEAR-0.11.tgz
Which promptly bombed, saying:
raising error!
failed to create c:\api\php\/\pear
So I thought, "Ah! It thinks it's installing PEAR from scratch, so
maybe if I try and upgrade?" Whereupon pear.in told me:
PEAR not installed
...which I guess is because I don't have a registry entry for it,
which is what I was trying to get. So having worked out that I
couldn't install the PEAR Package from a .tgz using either command,
even using the new version of the installer, I decided to come and
moan at you guys again, in the hope that you can sort me out. :-)
Isn't user feedback wonderful? :-)
