so something squirrley with pear install.
This is an ubuntu box and I think it had pear installed via apt.. I thought I had removed everything as Im 
trying to install this from source. 

So am I missing something here, in the horde install doc it says, 

3. Install PEAR packages::

     pear install -o Log Mail Mail_Mime DB Date File
     pear -d preferred_state=beta install -a Services_Weather

but I remember getting pear from the webpage and extracting it into /usr/local/php5/lib/php

so do I not need the separate pear from the webpage?

thanks,regards,
