Looks like this was never sent to the list.  Another reason to upgrade and 
use the "Reply to List" option :) (i can't even count the number of times I 
responded personally and not to the list).

The one problem with the instructions (I used these just this morning. 
:) regarding PEAR is that it assumes that you also have the PHP binary 
installed, while the rest of the instructions show how to install PHP as 
an apache module.

When installed as a module, you really do not have a /usr/bin/php 
binary, and, hence, cannot run "pear" which is simply a php script with 
"#!/usr/bin/php" as the first line.. :(

I simply grabbed the necessary PEAR module(s), untar-gz'ed them, and 
placed them in their appropriate locations (I looked at package.xml just 
to make sure I was placing them in the proper locations).  Not sure if 
that is a good thing, but it worked at the time..
