Though I'm sure others have eventually managed to figure this out, I've been following the various documentation out there and have been having a heck of a rough time of it.

Makes it sound pretty easy. However depending on your setup, you might be going down a rabbit hole.
PEAR for example must be of a version higher than 1.8.1. I had 1.8.0 at the time, so I went to find out how to update PEAR
PEAR upgrade-all
Gives an error. No access.
sudo PEAR upgrade-all
Works, but upgrades the PEAR install owned by the user 'sudo' (and not your primary account... or something like that, short version is 5that it plain don't work)
cd ~
pico .bash_profile
add
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
give you the correct PEAR when you type PEAR, you're finally ready for step 1 of the install PHPUnit instructions.
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
Error. You don't have access to /usr/local/temp
sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/temp
Error. You don't have access to /usr/local/temp/channel.xml
sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/temp/channel.xml
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
Error.
Registry directory is not writeable by the current user
BUT I'M ON A MAC!
/sigh
/facepalm
/tears
I've actually got a "working copy" of phpunit on my machine. (YAY!) the odd problem is that it only works when I type phpunit from one specific folder
cd /usr/local/PEAR
phpunit
^^ WORKS
cd ~
phpunit
^^ Returns
Warning: require_once(PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/bin/phpunit on line 46
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPUnit/Util/Filter.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /usr/local/bin/phpunit on line 46
So close yet so far... I'm wondering if anyone has some input on getting this guy working right?
Ahhh.... OK ... I think I might have gotten it working now.
the answer was present in the PHPUnit documentation. http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.4/en/installation.html
After the installation you can find the PHPUnit source files inside your local PEAR directory; the path is usually /usr/lib/php/PHPUnit.
The Mac version of PEAR that I was running, did install PHPUnit if I ran all the commands listed under the "SUDO" user eg:
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com
sudo pear upgrade-all
At this point, all the files are downloaded to /usr/local/pear but the command
phpunit
is looking to include files from /usr/lib/php/PHPUnit The solution? To copy the PHPUnit folder from
cp /usr/lib/pear/PHPUnit /usr/lib/php
OR
make a symlink
cd /usr/lib/php
ln -s /usr/lib/pear/PHPUnit PHPUnit
I've seen a lot of people with similar problems, but this particular solution hadn't come up in any of the threads I've seen. Hopefully of use to you :) -Alex
