I assume your the cron job run as root. So you should check as root (not 
using sudo) what is the php_dir option configured to in PEAR:

Example:

root at myserver:~# pear config-show

...

PEAR directory                 php_dir          /usr/share/php

...

You must have something wrong there. You can fix it using the command 
pear config-set, like this:

root at myserver:~# pear config-set php_dir /usr/share/php

But remember to run it as root (not just using sudo), in order to get ir 
right.

Hope it helps.
