Has anybody else ran into or been able to resolve this problem? I called bluehost but they are unwilling to give me sudo access…

Have you tried the new installer?
curl http://wp-cli.org/installer.sh | bash
This will allow you to run ~/.composer/bin/wp.
More info http://wp-cli.org/
I just tried and this is my output. Thanks for the help. Although it says it was installed, it was not. I am on bluehost and have changed some output information that I’m unsure if I should make public.

WP-CLI was not successfully installed.
Looks like this issue is related to PHP using cgi-fcgi instead of CLI SAPI. I don’t really fully understand what that means, but it looks like Composer relies on variables that CLI SAPI allows you to pass applications but CGI and FCGI do not. Is there someone that knows a bit more about PHP configuration out there?
