Thanks for the suggestion. Can't seem to make it work though. I was warned when uninstalling php4_pear that it was needed by mod_php4_core, but I uninstalled it anyway leaving mod_php4_core in place. The uninstall removed /usr/bin/pear, but left /usr/bin/pecl, so I deleted the latter. /usr/share/php still had remnants of pear, but I left those alone. go-pear seemed to work fine; looked like it even reinstalled the bits that the uninstall didn't get rid of.

Yes it does that, no worry here :)

But still pecl wouldn't work. It complained about the memory limit again, I added "-d memory-limit=-1" to the command,

You should disable memory limit for the installar (cli php.ini)

That's one of the other mysteries. Changing the memory limit in php.ini seems to have no effect on the install. That's why I added the "-d ..." to the command.

and then it acted the same as reported above.

Did you install php4-devel pacakges?

Yeah, I had done previously to first posting. Without that, I was getting reports of phpize being missing rather than failing. Cheers, Paul.
