Exactly what I was looking for thanks!!!

For google:

I was trying to install pear Mail on Centos 5.5 and i was failing.

pear install Mail
Did not download optional dependencies: pear/Net_SMTP, use –alldeps to download automatically
pear/Mail requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.5.6), installed version is 1.4.9
pear/Mail can optionally use package “pear/Net_SMTP” (version >= 1.4.1)
No valid packages found
install failed

It actually does not help. I have PHP 5.3.3 and PEAR 1.9.0 and installing PHPUnit 3.5 requries PEAR 1.9.1

I’ve tried pear upgrade –force PEAR, but pear version remains 1.9.0 and phpunit installation complains about old PEAR. Any ideas?
