In my case, running on Suse 9.0 on intel P4, the return value from the phpize popen call is -1 even though the pipe is clearly opened and the comman executed without an error. When I hard code the return value of this method to true I can build PECL PEAR packages all day long using "pear install". There is a comment on www.php.net about the return value of pclose() having changed. That's probably worth investigating: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pclose.php
