but I get the follow message:


pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
Discovering channel pear.drush.org over http:// failed with message: channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.drush.org:80' failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known)
Trying to discover channel pear.drush.org over https:// instead
Discovery of channel "pear.drush.org" failed (channel-add: Cannot open "https://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.drush.org:443' failed: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?))

I do not understand the error or how to overcome it.

Please help

When you say you are tying to install something, you should definitely take into account that we are not sitting together with you at yyour desk. We know nothing. You must explain everything. Like:
. What version of openSUS?
. How do you install? where from? There are zillion ways of “installing” things.

ok, fair enough and thank you for your time

I am trying to install Drush from Drush | drupal.org using the following console command so I can use it as a Drupal web developmennt tool;


pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
pear install drush/drush

and I get the following error;


inux-barl:/home/bilbo # pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
Discovering channel pear.drush.org over http:// failed with message: channel-add: Cannot open "http://pear.drush.org/channel.xml" (Connection to `pear.drush.org:80' failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known)
Trying to discover channel pear.drush.org over https:// instead

The above error suggests I need to do something I haven’t done but I don’t know what that would be or how to do it.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

since it appears you are exactly following the instructions on the page
you referenced, i would say the folks that wrote that page owe you an
answer…

well, i do see where it says:

If the channel-discover fails, try running the following sequence of
commands:

pear upgrade --force Console_Getopt
pear upgrade --force pear
pear upgrade-all

or, i see it is available at
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=drush&search_devel=false&search_devel=true&search_unsupported=false&baseproject=openSUSE%3A12.1
