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. suse installs different php.ini, be sure to use the correct one. do: php -i | grep php.ini to know which is used with CLI

That sounded hopeful, but according to that command CLI is using the same /etc/php.ini. Also pear seems to work flawlessly; its only pecl that has trouble installing things.

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. I cannot help more here unless you use standard php packages (source install). You are the fifth person only this week to report problems with suse php... All problems solved when they use a clean php install (from source).

Could try that. Is there any knock-on effect, like having to also reinstall apache? Or is it very self contained? Thanks for all the help, Paul.
