Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _PEAR_call_destructors() (previously declared in /usr/lib/php/PEAR.php:735) in /home/republic/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/PEAR.php on line 811
Hi

I am constantly getting this error whenever I try to update, enable or disable any drupal module. I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Ewan,

You have PEAR somewhere in your $PATH.  Googling "Cannot redeclare _PEAR_call_destructors" will give you lots of (non-CiviCRM-specific) results.

This is a pretty good explanation of an approach to fixing it:

If you don't have any programs that use the PEAR in your $PATH, you can always remove it from your $PATH.

Okay, I've contacted my host to see if they can assist with the PATH variable.

Do you know if the workaround described on the link would work for Civi? If so where would I insert the ini_set lines? index.php?

As far as I can work out, this is my path include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php"

I don't see PEAR there - does that mean the problemn lies elsewhere?
