OK. I see three elements in this path, the first pointing to
'/.../public_html/horde/lib', the second to '.', and the last to
'/usr/lib64/php'. I assume the second one should be altered to
'/.../pear/PEAR'. I tried putting

php_value include_path "/.../public_html/horde/lib:/.../pear/PEAR:/usr/lib64/php"

in 

/.../public_html/horde/.htaccess 

but with no effect, I get the same
error message, so this directive is apparently ignored.

I am not very experienced in this regard. Anything else I can try?
