Pear Packages not working

I've been trying to use a few PEAR packages for a few hours now to no avail. PEAR itself is functioning, and I believe I set all of the configuration variables correctly, but when I try to run any of my packages from the command line, I get PHP errors telling me the required file wasn't found. For example, with phpdoc:

$ phpdoc
PHP Warning:  require(PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pear/bin/phpdoc on line 40

Warning: require(PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pear/bin/phpdoc on line 40
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required 'PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc.inc' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pear/bin/phpdoc on line 40

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc.inc' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.2/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pear/bin/phpdoc on line 40

I tried manually editing the files, inserting the absolute path to the files, but when I correct one require error a new one just comes up.

This is my pear.conf:

PEAR Config

I'm using MAMP PRO v1.9.5 on Mac OS 10.7.5 with PHP v5.2.17. Also, I installed the packages with the PEAR web interface package manager. If any further information is required, please let me know and I'll post it.

Solution

  • Make sure that the include path contains the folder where PEAR installs php class files. Check your include_path ini setting. It should look like:

    include_path=".:PEAR_CLASSES_PATH"

    where PEAR_CLASSES_PATH is the pear class path
