Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors()
January 22, 2010, 05:21:42 am
After installing CiviCRM my test site becomes inoperable.  Sure glad I created a test site! Message is:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors() (previously declared in /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php:773) in /home5/easterne/public_html/test.staff/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/PEAR.php on line 806

We are not using plugins_manager or phpids or flashvideo modules (I found those issues and forum topics).
I am using cas, cck, swftools, views, and more but don't know where to look for the conflict.
I am not a php programmer but have administered Drupal sites for several years.  This is my first try at installing CiviCRM

Is this a CiviCRM problem, a problem with another module, or a configuration issue?  What is PEAR?

I assume that you have seen this thread.

PEAR is the standard repository of PHP libraries, and the PEAR problem above is because both CiviCRM and some other program tries to load the common PEAR code at the same time.

Do you use anything other than Drupal+CiviCRM on CiviCRM pages?

Maybe your PHP loads PEAR by default? (/usr/share/pear/PEAR.php is the system-wide installation of PEAR).
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

I will respond to each line.
1. Yes I saw the thread
2. Oh. PHP library. So many modules might want that.
3. Not sure what you mean by CiviCRM pages. At this point the site is inoperable. I don't see the front page or anything.
4. How would I turn this system wide installation off?

if i had to guess it is swftools

a good workaround for now, might be to put a conditional around PEAR.php to not load if its already loaded (i.e. if class_exists)
