Maybe their installation does not provide a commandline-version of php, that you would need for the "normal" way of installing PEAR? If they have a commandline-php they can simply execute the script they get at http://go-pear.org ... and pear will automatically be set up just fine. If you can't have this option, try downloading the source from that URL, put it on your webserver and execute the URL in the browser. This will allow you to install PEAR and later also install packages from the web. Depends on your system if you can easily get it to work - but it's worth a try. Good luck, Stefan
