We downloaded the groupware instalaltion, followed the instructions.
The machine we have already has a horde (v2) and PEAR (completely up to
date) setup.
We use Postgres.

The Setup script kept failing with an error that the PG module was not
found. Debugged it into the local Pear that comes bundled with the tar.

However, because we have PEAR on the system we cannot just pear install
PG.
Moreover, the groupware doesn't use our PHP.INI search path but overrides
it locally.

This means that we:
a) cannot install the missing module
b) cannot get groupware to run because it overrides our PHP search path,
therefore cannot find the PEAR compoenents that are in our global
installation

The existing Horde installation works fine because it uses the global PHP
settigs. It's only the latest download of groupware that completely
fails.

We are now going to delete the latest as we have spent too much time
already debugging this. Will try with the individual downloads instead.
