Root dir of phpgroupware?  Again, this isn't the list to
ask about using Chora with it.  they forked off a copy around
the start of the year, and haven't been in touch with me about
it at all.

All I know is that we've fixed a number of bugs since that
fork, so I can only recommend that you use the Horde
version.

You can use the latest tarballs of Horde and Chora, or
grab the ultra-latest version out of CVS (which has stuff
like a filesystem cache to ease the load from busy Chora
servers)

Just follow the instructions on http://horde.org/source/
and get Horde-cvs and Chora-cvs ...

In the php distribution come a set of PHP base classes called
'PEAR'.  You install them into /usr/local/lib/php by default;

If you download PHP-4.0.7RC1, then

$ cd php-4.0.7RC1
$ ./configure
$ cd pear
$ make install

and you will have a version of PEAR that is good enough for
Horde.
