Intalling Symfony

Hi All. I am trying to install symfony. http://www.symfony-project.com/. I am running into a problem with the pear installer not knowing where php5 is located. I know the path to php5 on dreamhost machines is /usr/loca/php5/bin/php, but I don't know how to tell the pear installer this. Any one know how I can tell the symfony pear installer the path to php5?

Thanks a ton.

Make sure you're using the right pear: /usr/local/php5/bin/pear

PEAR installs with PHP5. If it's not recongizing the right PHP version, it means you're using the wrong PEAR version.

Could you post your print out of 'pear config-show?' That would help a lot.

Thanks.

... Take the long route? I can post the config of the right pear, but like I said, you're using the wrong pear. There's two versions on the server: /usr/local/bin/pear and /usr/local/php5/bin/pear

/usr/local/bin is in your path, but php5 isn't. So when you type 'pear' you always get /usr/local/bin/pear (You can verify this by typing "which pear"). In order to use the right version, you have you type: /usr/local/php5/bin/pear or put /usr/local/php5/bin in your path before /usr/local/bin: export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
