Ah WAMP doesn't include PEAR, but...

This thread on the WAMP forums suggest just getting go-pear and dropping it into your wamp\php directory:

I'm trying to install this hack, but don't understand how to install the PEAR packages...
I downlaoded the xml_rss package and cache_lite package and extracted the files, modded audioscrobbler.php to include the files from that folder, but then it says:

"Warning: main(XML/Parser.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \XML_RSS\RSS.php on line 23"

which wasn't included in the xml package.
What do I do?

Does your host not have PEAR installed? Quite a lot do, cPanel servers come with it out of the box and I would suspect that other hosts also supply it.

I've just had a look at the PEAR pages, and it seems that XML_RSS depends on XML_Tree which depends on XML_Parser which depends on PEAR.

It might take a while to attempt to build a list of all of the dependencies. If you can let me know whether PEAR is available on your server I'll look at whether it is feasible to package all of the required PEAR files together. I'm afraid this may take a while for me to do though as I fly to NYC and onto Redmond tomorrow and will be out of the country (UK) for a few weeks.

Not sure about the host, I was just testing this on my own pc (apache, php, mysql installed) and couldn't figure out how to install PEAR so I thought it would be easier to just copy the files into the forums folder and include them like you said above.

ah well, i will try to find an install guide for pear.

Works! Thanks!
Now as soon as vb3.5 is released I can install it on the 'live' forum.

Hmm, it already worked for me in 3.5 anyway. :lick:
Would be nice to have it as a plugin tho ofcourse.

Well Audioscrobbler is all switched up now. Looks like last.fm is what they are now. It's great because there's all kinds of new features, but of course our hack is broken now.
