RTFM, set output html error. > How can I set that include_path ? I tried putting it in my .bash_profile but it did not help Damned, please listen to us AND FORGET PERL :-). Your include path if it has to be different from the one defined in php.ini must be set by the ini_set command in your script. Or, for a php running under apache, it can be define as php_admin_value in your http.conf. So in resume : In console mode : Setup a local installation of pear, run the pear command ONLY from this installation. In Web environment: Set the include_path to the correct folder, using ini_set in one of this way : - within your script using ini_set('include_path','.:/path/to/your/pear/tree'); - in httpd.conf file, inside YOUR host section - in an htaccess file in the document root folder of YOUR host. Hope that will help, it seems you mixe all the runtime environment, this is quit different if php runs under console oder as a module. Come back if that does not work, try to test it in web using the infos I gave you here. pa
