'zip' support needed?

[ Resending with a subject that actually makes sense ] When attempting to use pear to install a package, I got the following error: $ pear install http://pear.php.net/get/imagick downloading imagick-0.1.1.tgz ... ...done: 12,590 bytes The extension 'zlib' couldn't be found. Please make sure your version of PHP was builtwith 'zlib' support. So I attempted to compile php with 'zlib' support (I compile a static executable on my workstation and upload it to the web server, where I have limited privileges). However, that hasn't changed the error. When I check for 'zlib' support, it appears to be there: $ head -n 1 which pear #!/vs3/vs3/macroped/usr/local/bin/php -Cq $ /vs3/vs3/macroped/usr/local/bin/php -m Running PHP 4.2.1 Zend Engine v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies [PHP Modules] zip xml standard session posix pcre mysql ctype [Zend Modules] $ Any ideas what could be wrong?
