WAMP and PEAR installation

[mreznisistem]

I having a problem with installation of pear on a wamp configuration. It is WAMP 5.0 wamserver 2.0. The problem is that system hangs. The following message is generated. I clicked go-pear.bat and my sistem respond with the following:





“Welcome to go-pear!



Go-pear will install the 'pear' command and all the files needed by

it. This command is your tool for PEAR installation and maintenance.



Use 'php PEAR\go-pear.phar local' to install a local copy of PEAR.



Go-pear also lets you download and install the PEAR packages bundled

with PHP: MDB2.

I do not know what to do. I am just wondering if anybody is having same problem?

I have tried to use web approach to intsall pear and I used
http://localhost/novi/gopear.php?step=config

where I have configured properly:

________________________________________

Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation.
Note: Make sure that PHP has the permission to access the specified
directories.
1. Installation prefix C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5

...

11. php.exe path, optional (CLI command tools) C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5

This value are configured properly but they are not as the one which generate error! It seems to me that installation procedure did not take the right directories.

"mkdir failed: Loading zlib: ok Downloading package: PEAR-stable......ok Downloading package: Archive_Tar-stable....ok Downloading package: Console_Getopt-stable....ok Downloading package: Structures_Graph-stable....ok Downloading package: HTML_Template_IT-stable....ok Downloading package: Net_UserAgent_Detect-stable....ok Downloading package: PEAR_Frontend_Web-beta....ok Bootstrapping: PEAR...................(remote) ok Bootstrapping: Archive_Tar............

Overall this routine with approach generate different error messages. I am having difficulties understanding what is wrong.

I have both of the same problems, although in reverse order.

As for the 2nd post, after spending a couple of hours debugging go-pear.php, I finally got it to work by commenting out the code block around line 500 that checks for back slashes and replaces them with forward slashes (or something like that). It messed up the include path and resulted in a fatal error. After skipping that step, it made it into the download/install portion of the script.

Unfotunately, at that point, the script hangs at exactly the same point as you experienced in your 1st post. I have no idea why this is occurring and after screwing around with this for hours now, I'm about to give up. Maybe it's specific to Wamp? I don't know but I'm frustrated and about to give up and go back to java.
