Phing pear install fails trying to delete phing directory

[DougWarner <silfreed-phing@…>]

Trying to install phing-2.3.0beta1, I get the folling error (this may be related to ticket 85):

$ pear -c pear.rc install phing/phing-beta

package.xml to rename phing executable on unix

Okay; I think I figured out that the problem was the executable file that was trying to install after the 'phing' library directory already existed. It was trying to install as 'phing' as well and the name conflicted. I renamed the executable to 'phingcmd' and the installation seemed to complete fine.

This is not a Phing bug -- at least, not as formulated here. This seems to be a configuration or permissions issue. The executable script needs to be named Phing.
