Question

I am trying to run

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.3/bin/pear

From Terminal on Mac OS X Lion. I get no output, using -h, -v, -V and version do not give any output either.

There are also no errors.

I am running MAMP on Mac OS X Lion, both are clean installs.

Slightly off topic

I am at my whits end on this, at no point has PEAR ever worked first time or felt like something I can trust as a platform to reliably get/update libraries. Why on earth is it even still around? It also seems to be a requirement for installing things like Phing correctly for newer libraries like Propel ORM.

Getting Propel working is my ultimately goal. But why oh why do I have to use PEAR still, its old and rubbish!

Thanks for any help,
Jake

There is an error but it is not displayed.
Make sure in your php.ini you have the following settings:

display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
error_reporting = E_ALL
