On the URL http://www.horde.org/apps/webmail/docs/INSTALL#installing-with-pear
I see no mention of running webmail-install

The following step should be:

pear install horde/webmail

What is the output of that command?

But this pear install has me stumpped.I have been trying to install this on/off for the last couple of months with no luck.My OS is Centos 6.5

Really, installing horde with pear is easy (although, why you'd want
the webmail package and not the individual packages, I have no idea).

pear channel-discover pear.horde.org
pear install horde/horde_role
pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
pear install -a -B horde/webmail
pear install horde/webmail

That should be all you need.
