It's possible that you might see something useful in there. Just a hunch about the doubled directory names... I'm guessing the top-level one is being created by the *setPackage()* method, while the second-level one is being created by the *baseinstalldir* attribute. You might try setting *baseinstalldir* to just "/" and see if that gives you the results you want. One other resource you might try is the case study in Chapter 3 of Greg's *PEAR Installer* book... there's a PDF version available so that you can get it "immediately". -- CRB
