I'm using Debian 6 (upgraded) but PEAR remains on a lower version than needed to install HORDE, and PEAR is telling me that Horde 5 packages needs PEAR 1.9.2 and 1.9.4. And that's not all, after learning myself how to upgrade PEAR, there were some OTHER missing PEAR packages needed which WEREN'T auto-upgraded nor auto-downloaded nor auto-detected as a AUTO-DEPENDENCY, so it seems to me that the whole PEAR installation has failed in its objective of making everything auto-installable, and user friendly. Here I'm sending you all a snippet with the list of commands missing in the documentation INSTALL, that need to go INTO the section PREREQUISITES (as in PEAR >= 1.9.2). <hr size="2" width="100%">pear install pear pear install pear/net_sieve pear install pear/net_smtp pear install pear/net_imap pear install pear/net_pop3 pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com <hr size="2" width="100%"> Please take my message as a way to improve the docs, and please don't assume that everybody knows the inner workings of PEAR, so it would be VERY NICE for new users that those 6 extra steps that I wrote are in some way included in the INSTALL. (for example: INSTALL tells you that you need IMAP/POP3 and SMTP servers running, but it doesn't tell you that PEAR needs to have special PEAR modules updated to latest versions for SMTP/IMAP/POP3). Thank you for your time, now I'll be glad to test Horde 5 if everything else goes well. </div> </body> </html>
