“fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource”

Question

drush throws an error

"Notice: Use of undefined constant STDERR - assumed 'STDERR' in /kunden/192766_10587/bin/drush/includes/drush.inc on line 1668

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /kunden/192766_10587/bin/drush/includes/output.inc on line 34

What I did is the following. (I followed the instruction from the README.)

1. Cloned drush

   git clone --branch 7.x-5.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drush.git
   

2. Wrote into the ~/.bashrc

   export PATH="$PATH:~/bin/drush:/usr/local/bin"
   alias drush=~/bin/drush/drush.php
   

3. Refreshed the bashrc

   source ~/.bashrc
   

4. Set the 'drush' command executable:

    chmod u+x /path/to/drush/drush
   

Drush is working but it shows errors every time.

What did I do wrong?

You should not run drush.php directly. It is preferable to define DRUSH_PHP, like this: export DRUSH_PHP='/usr/local/bin/php' Then you may continue to use the drush script as usual. This is documented in the README.
