I can't reproduce this one. can you paste in: pear -V pear list cat `which pear` or anything else to prove that you are in fact using PEAR 1.5.1. Specifically, verify that pearcmd.php that the pear command is including is in fact where you expect it to be.

thanks, now I see the problem in my output, was looking in the wrong place

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
