    Check Dependencies

    If you recently upgraded to PHPUnit 3.6, there’s a possibility you still have an older version of File_Iterator installed and that’s the problem (Based on a vague memory of the same error).

    You can check the versions of installed packages with:

    pear list -c pear.phpunit.de

    If anything looks not-right, or just to be sure upgrade PHPUnit to ensure it’s at the latest version and so are all dependencies: 

    $ pear update-channels
$ pear upgrade phpunit/PHPUnit
Did not download optional dependencies: phpunit/PHP_Invoker, use --alldeps to download automatically
phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use package "phpunit/PHP_Invoker" (version >= 1.1.0)
phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject can optionally use PHP extension "soap"

    Check include path

    if you have the appropriate version of File_Iterator (and other dependencies) installed and File/Iterator/Autoload.php is missing – it’s not installed anywhere that php is looking for it. Use pear list-files phpunit/File_Iterator to see exactly where pear thinks the file is – and verify that the file exists.

    If it does then the pear root is not in your path, add it and you’re good to go.
