PEAR installation fails with 5.2.0 on Win XP

[Mladen Gogala]

PEAR installation failed with PHP 5.2.0 on Windows XP. The reported error
is mismatch between array types. Did anyone else come across that? Any
solutions?
I didn't have any problems with Linux:

Yes, just tried it and it fails very badly.

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in
phar://go-pear.phar/PEAR/Command.php on line 268

... over and over, ending up with "install failed".

Dunno yet, bug reports seem to be thin on the ground so far.

The last commit to make-gopear-phar.php looks relevant and ominous:

Seems to be fixed in the latest snap though, overwrote PEAR/go-pear.phar with
the one from http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-wi...0611082330.zip and then
go-pear.bat works as usual.

Wonder what else wasn't tested before it was released.

Well, that's open source: test and build it yourself.
