I have tried command to upgrade pear:

pear upgrade pear
pear upgrade --force pear

but it returns :

Nothing to upgrade

Any solutions?

Answer 1

try this command :

pear upgrade --force http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.9.4.tar

It will download the tar of pear 1.9.4 and upgrade the version.
If it is not working,check whether your php supports .zlib or not.
If it is not supported then configure your php with.zlib by this command:

./configure --with zlib

check this by phpinfo command on browser,it will support zlib in your php info page.
Run the above command to upgrade your pear version and check it by:

pear version

It will show your pear version as 1.9.4

then run command:

pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit
