Admittedly I've only dealt with PEAR a little bit, but the two times I installed it, it didn't seem to involve any 'executable'. PEAR appears to be totally PHP script based. I dont mean to give an "RTFM" type response here, but if you follow the instructions at the PEAR installation page, it should work fine no matter what OS you're running: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php Hello,
What I meant by the "pear executable" is actually a shell based (which then run php) script that acts as the pear "frontend / package manager". Thanks for the link and summary on how to install that manually, but I was just curious why it wasn't built automatically when I 'make install' php, since as I mentioned, IIRC previous version of PHP gives you this. Thanks. RDB
