symfony plugin installation fails on windows because it is "unable to unpack" the tgz - plugins

I tried to install the sfTaskExtraPlugin using
symfony plugin:install sfTaskExtraPlugin
and received
Installation of "sfTaskExtraPlugin" plugin failed: unable to unpack (...)sfTaskExtraPlugin-1.3.3.tgz
I know I can simply install it manually by unpacking it to the plugin directory and including it into the ProjectConfiguration.
But I would like to be able to install all that is possible through the installer, as it is way more comfortable.
My system details: symfony 1.4 on Windows 7 (64 bit) with XAMPP 1.7.4.
Thanks!

Not an expert on this but my guess is that you're missing a utility/program that would allow Windows to unpack the tgz file. I'd Google around, install the relevant utility(ies) and try again.
I'm using the exact same setup as you as my dev environment and don't have that problem.

I have same problem and I have no solution.
One solution is: try again and again and again. It should work! :)
I'm not kidding. To install symfony 1.4.8 via pear on my Windows7 by using xampp 1.7.4 I just stupidly repeated installation.

Installing libsodium in MAMP environment

I'm trying to install libsodium (following this guide https://paragonie.com/book/pecl-libsodium/read/00-intro.md#installing-libsodium). When I attempt to use pecl install libsodium, I get the following result:
Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/libsodium.so'
ERROR: failed to write /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/libsodium.so (copy(/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/libsodium.so): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted)
Can anyone tell me why this isn't working, and how I can overcome it?
I installed libsodium on MAMP using PECL.
It's easy when everything is configured.
Basically you just need to
check this checkbox on MAMP > PHP. Make sure to open a new terminal tab or restart it to make effect.
Run pecl install libsodium and follow the latest instruction
Troubleshooting
I faced an issue related to GNU (autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/m4) when trying to install with PECL.
I solved it by following these steps after brew install m4.
Also, make sure xcode is installed and using latest versions (xcode-select --install).
I hope it helps.

collectd-how to install write_riemann plugin

I'm new to collectd and Riemann. Im essentially trying to direct collectd logs to a riemann server instance. I understand that I need write_riemann plugin installed. I tried compiling the source files for write_riemann available online, but it includes a file called "riemann.pb-c.h", which is no where to be found. Please help!
Download the binary. After running the build script, while running the configure script include "--enable-write_riemann", this should install it. I had a lot of dependencies missing on CentOS, which threw a lot of errors. Once they were installed, write_riemann plugin was compiled and installed. Another issue you might face while installing the dependency is not able to find the right packages for protobuf-c.I was using yum package installer. Go to sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo and change enabled from 0 to 1. After this, the protobuf-c processor was recognised while running the configure script. This solved my issue. Hope it does yours too!

Problems installing/compiling DBD::mysql on OpenSuSE 10

I am getting a bunch of compile errors when I try to install the MySQL DBD::mysql Perl library. I am trying to install this library on OpenSuse linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise server 10 (x86_64) version 10, patch level 4)
The install fails when trying to compile dbdimp.h. There are hundreds of complile errors but I have reason to believe they all stem from the first 3:
dbdimp.h:23:49: error: mysql.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:24:45: error: mysqld_error.h: No such file or directory
dbdimp.h:26:49: error: errmsg.h: No such file or directory
I believe that the reason I am getting the errors above is that I have no MySql Client installed. I do not know how to install mysql client (I believe I am supposed to get some version of libmysqlclient).
I am brand new to opensuse and vaguely familar with installing packages on Linux in general have used yum, yast, apt-get on ubuntu + centOS previously but the only package manager tools that seem to be on OpenSuse 10 are rpm and zypper. I have not managed to install the required mysql client using either of these. If anyone knows how to install MySql Client to resolve my issue I would greatly appreciate any recomendations
Thanks
You need to install MySQL or the MySQL client libraries, either through your system's package manager or by following the installation instructions from the source code.
It sounds like your question is really "How do I install MySQL on OpenSuse", which would be more appropriate for one of the other StackExchange sites.
I was able to resolve this to a point. In my original question, I stated that I had tried using YAST but that it had not worked. In fact, I did not fully explore the YAST install option but when I did, I managed to download install the required librarys by following an article I found (http://adminramble.com/install-mysql-yast/#chitika_close_button)
I was able to open the YAST GUI in the terminal window (not an X-window display) and navigate through the "software management" section wherein I was able to do a search for MySql. Amoung the search results were mysql client libraries, which I then selected and hit "Accept". The installation started and completed successully.
In order to complile the PERL DBD::mysql module, I had to create a new makefile with the ccflags specified so that the header files could be found:
perl Makefile.PL --cflags -I/usr/include/mysql
I say "to a point" at the top of this comment because I then ran into further problems compiling but my original issue posted has been partially resolved and getting this far may help someone else who is experiencing the same problem. Will update if I get a solution to the compile problem.

MongoDB PHP Driver install failed (Windows)

I attempted to download the php_mongo.dll from this link (http://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver/downloads) and added the extension to php. However it doesn't work at all.
My PHP version is: 5.2.x
Windows: Windows 7 64 bit.
I have also try to use pecl install mongo but it returned some error like:
This DSP mongo.dsp doesn't not exist.
Could somebody help?
OK, I find I got the problem. I download a non-thread-save binary and that's why it can't be started.
