title: Dreamhost - Latest version of PEAR
body: <p>I'm on SSH on my Dreamhost account.</p>
  
  <p>I need to install the HTTP_Request2 PHP library via pear</p>
  
  <pre><code>pear install HTTP_Request2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>pear/HTTP_Request2 requires PEAR Installer (version &gt;= 1.9.2), installed version is 1.9.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the output of  <code>pear -V</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>PEAR Version: 1.9.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried forcing an upgrade on the Dreamhost server </p>
  
  <p><code>pear upgrade --force http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.9.2</code> and even <code>pear install PEAR-1.9.4</code></p>
  
  <p>but this errors out to: <code>pear/PEAR is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.9.4
  install failed</code> </p>
  
  <p>Anyone experience similar issues?</p>
