I am working on a mac and trying to install http_request2 and mail_mime via the pear package manager.

When I use the pear install command I see this:

$ pear install http_request2
downloading HTTP_Request2-2.2.1.tgz ...
Starting to download HTTP_Request2-2.2.1.tgz (107,339 bytes)
.........................done: 107,339 bytes
downloading Net_URL2-2.0.5.tgz ...
Starting to download Net_URL2-2.0.5.tgz (17,456 bytes)
...done: 17,456 bytes
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Net_URL2-2.0.5
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP_Request2-2.2.1

Which leads me to believe that this is installed correctly. However, if I then run pear list -a I get the following output:

$ pear list -a
Installed packages, channel __uri:
==================================
(no packages installed)

Installed packages, channel doc.php.net:
========================================
(no packages installed)

Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:
=========================================
Package          Version State
Archive_Tar      1.3.11  stable
Console_Getopt   1.3.1   stable
PEAR             1.9.4   stable
Structures_Graph 1.0.4   stable
XML_Util         1.2.1   stable

Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net:
=========================================
(no packages installed)

http_request2 is not included among the installed packages, despite just being told that it was installed.

I can also run the pear install http_request2 command again and it will not give me the

ignoring installed package pear/http_request2

like it's supposed to, instead it just proceeds with the install.

I ran

pear config-get php_dir

and found http_request2 in that directory.

I tried changing the include_path variable in my php.ini file as suggested in this post: Pear Packages not working but it didn't change anything.

I would prefer not to reinstall pear if possible because I'm not experienced with this and don't want to accidentally end up with two pears, as suggested can happen here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6596669/2718779. Any suggestions?

You probably stumble across the issue I solved in https://stackoverflow.com/a/19177767/282601 - two versions of pear installed.
