In 4.2 you can add the --with-cli switch and it will compile the cli version at the same time as any other sapi module -joshua eichorn David McInnis wrote:

Is there a way to install pear without recompiling? Or can I install php as both CGI and with-apxs? David McInnis -----Original Message----- From: Jesus M.

This might need to be clarified in the PEAR manual to avoid this confusion w/ users not aware of the different ways of compiling PHP. --- David McInnis <david@dataovation.com> wrote:

The 'pear' command is the tool that can manage PEAR packages downloaded both from the PEAR web (http://pear.php.net) or from the 'pear/' CVS module of cvs.php.net With this script you could also download and install, from CVS, the common PEAR files that comes with any PHP distribution (located at php4/pear in CVS).
