I’ve got a fresh copy of PHPUnit installed on my system (Ubuntu 11), but whenever I type phpunit in the console I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance() in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 39

I have PHPUnit’s code coverage installed, as far as I know:

>sudo pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.1.1

install failed

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

    The executable script that loads PHPUnit must not have been updated when going to 3.6.x. Reinstall it.

    sudo pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit
sudo pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

    If this doesn’t work, make sure PEAR itself is up-to-date.
