Note that the Red Hat PHP RPMs (and the Horde ones derived from them) put
pear in /usr/share/php, not /usr/local/lib/php.  That's probably where the
problem came from.  You want to look at the phpinfo() screen from
test.php and see what your include_path is (that will tell you where PHP
is looking for PEAR).

[Sorry for the delay in responding (I'm a bit behind on list mail) but I
thought this should get to the list archive.]
