I've a new EC2 instance with PHP 5.5.4 and I am trying to install Predis from Pear. Every time I try to install Predis from pear I keep having the following error.
Anyone has an idea on why is this happening? I googled lots for a solution and I cant find an answer
root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xxx:/etc/nginx# pear install nrk/Predis

PHP 5.5 changed the way unpack works (http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.incompatible.php) so some PEAR or PECL packages are no longer compatible. You can install the package manually. I think it was also fixed in the pear repository, but I'm not sure. It has not been released though.
