I'm trying to install SOAP on PEAR via the command line on Dreamhost. I've upgraded to the latest version of PEAR (1.9.0) but when I try and install SOAP I get the error:

pear/SOAP requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.5.4), installed version is 1.5.0

I've tried everything I can think of to upgrade, but can't get it to work. Any ideas?

    You say PEAR is at v 1.9.0, but the error says PEAR is at v. 1.5.0. – Ewan Dec 26 '09 at 18:13
  • Yeah, and therein lies the problem. I try to install 1.9.0 and it tells me that that version or newer is already installed, but when I try and instal SOAP it tells me I'm on 1.5.0. –  Dec 26 '09 at 19:55

You can use pear upgrade to upgrade PEAR itself:

pear upgrade PEAR

or:

pear upgrade-all

Got in touch with Dreamhost and they say it's a problem with their setup:

Ah. Yea. The reason why the version does not match is due to back porting done in the Debian version we're using. I'm not sure if there's a way around that but can create a incident report with our system admin if you'd like. But ultimately, it would be best to install a custom copy of PHP and PEAR in order to install custom modules.
