Hi Mark,

I looked into this problem for a little today, and I think I know the
reason for the failure, but I haven't found a solution yet.

The package2.xml file contained in the Structures_Graph .tar distro has
some non-ASCII characters on line 10.  I removed those characters and
re-rerolled the .tar file.  I then tried to install the local copy of
the .tar file instead of pulling it from php.net.

Presumably, that fixed the error that you reported, but it failed in
another way:

- ---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---
# pear install /tmp/go-pear/download/Structures_Graph-1.0.2.tar

Warning: sortpackagesforinstall(Structures/Graph.php): failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in PEAR/Downloader.php on line 1217

Warning: sortpackagesforinstall(Structures/Graph.php): failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in
/usr/local/share/pear/PEAR/Downloader.php on line 1217

Fatal error: sortpackagesforinstall(): Failed opening required
'Structures/Graph.php' (include_path='/usr/local/share/pear') in
/usr/local/share/pear/PEAR/Downloader.php on line 1217
- ---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---cut---

I haven't had time to chase that down, but perhaps it gives you some
idea on how to continue troubleshooting?

Regards,
Greg
