Trying to install Pear on SUSE

Question

I've been trying for hours and googling everywhere to no avail to get Pear installed on a SUSE linux server, I'm stuck at the error:

ALERT - script tried to disable memory_limit by setting it to a negative value -1 bytes which is not allowed (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/usr/bin/go-pear.phar', line 1128) ALERT - Include filename ('phar://go-pear.phar/index.php') is an URL that is not allowed (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/usr/bin/go-pear.phar', line 1236)

I've been installing it with the commands:.

wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
php go-pear.phar

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

That error is coming from suhosin. You could temporarily disable it in php.ini.

Answer 2

I found php -n go-pear.phar also works w/o requiring root for editing the php.ini
