Wierd behavior running pear command

Hi listers, Searched for history on this one but found nothing... First off, the vitals: RedHat8 (stock, with updated rpms) php-4.2.2-8.0.5 So here I am, learning the joys of using pear. I'll do something like: /usr/bin/pear install MDB and everything is fine. Then: /usr/bin/pear list-installed and then I see all the neat packages I've been installing. Then: /usr/bin/pear install (something else, doesn't matter) and I get: Usage: pear [options] command [command-options] <parameters> Type "pear help options" to list all options. Type "pear help <command>" to get the help for the specified command. ......... ? I cannot determine when this is triggered, or what it is that is happening. All I can tell is that the pear executable spontaneously combusts, seemingly at random. It is not tied to what command is given to pear, either. I am relatively certain that this is not the desired behaviour... Anyone else see this? -- Mitch
