In Ubuntu I always do everything that requires admin privilege using 
"sudo command". So it is with pear commands. I execute it like "sudo 
pear install ...",  "sudo pear run-scripts ..." and so on.

No, I never create separate pear installation for horde. I use the 
system's defaults.

I'll do another test with a VM doing everything directly as root (no 
sudo) to see what happens and then I'll report back.
