problems with pear - general inclusion - I think

ok, trying to user pear and more specifically ping in pear.

my issue is after troubleshooting the little test app, I have a new issue INSIDE the actual pear back end code classes.

here is the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: throwerror() in /usr/share/pear/Net/Ping.php on line 312

line 312 is

return PEAR::throwError(NET_PING_HOST_NOT_FOUND_MSG, NET_PING_HOST_NOT_FOUND);

so I guess I am not quite configured correctly, this does not seem to be a problem with the way I am using it.

I get no errors about what can;t be included or anything, just this.

anyone familar with pear?
can you shed any light on this

thanks.

It sounds like you are missing the PEAR_Error package, which is strange because it is part of the base PEAR package. ..

Actually in looking around a little bit, it appears that PEAR uses a raiseError method rather than a throwError method. is it possible that you have updated your base package of PEAR, but are using an outdated Net package? I would try updating all packages to the most current versions....
