I have a fairly fresh Debian Testing install, and I am trying to install PEAR / PECL but when I run the command nothing happens. I don't want to install the PEAR package in the Debian repositories because in my experience it is too old. I have installed php5-dev.
Here is what I tried:
$ wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
$ php go-pear.phar
I also tried sudo php go-pear.phar
.
$ php -version
PHP 5.3.6-13 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jul 4 2011 12:42:46)

Any thoughts how I can see what is going wrong here?
-- Edit
if I do: php -i | grep phar
I get:
Registered PHP Streams => https, ftps, compress.zlib, compress.bzip2, php, file, glob, data, http, ftp, phar, zip
Phar-based phar archives => enabled
Tar-based phar archives => enabled
ZIP-based phar archives => enabled
phar.cache_list => no value => no value
phar.readonly => On => On
phar.require_hash => On => On
There is no phar.ini in /etc/php5/conf.d/
.

I have installed PEAR from the Debian repositories now and run pear upgrade
. Still interested to figure out why the go-pear.phar installation is not working.
$ whereis php
