PEAR 1.3.6 installation problem with PHP4.4.4

I received a reply from Gregory Beaver with some instructions for manual installation steps. I could not get the install to work properly. Attached to this email is a text file with the output from the suggested actions. The file was scanned using McAfee Antivirus.
