Trying to get PEAR:DB to install

Dear Group, I've searched pear.php.net and the archives here and not found an answer. PEAR seems very complicated to install if you are running PHP 4.1. My goal is to get PEAR and PEAR:DB installed on my VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is required to run PHPaga.net. I think I have PEAR installed, but am not sure how to test it. I also attempted to install PEAR:DB and it is not installed. Here are the steps I took. Upgraded PHP via vinstall (a VPS option) from 4.1 to 4.3. It broke my www.open-realty.com installs, so had to roll it back to 4.1. 4.3 would have been ideal, since it has both PEAR and PEAR:DB. Tried to install PEAR from the command line using lynx -source http://go-pear.org | php as detailed on http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php , but received the error "php: Command not found." I think this is because CLI (Command Line Interface) isn't enabled in PHP 4.1. So I copied in the most recent version of PEAR from http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=14 to /usr/local/lib/php and unzipped it, which placed a package.xml file in that directory, and created a subdirectory called PEAR-1.0.1 with some more files and several subdirectories. This is the same location that the lead developer of phpaga.net manually installed PEAR. Then I added the below to my php.ini file at /usr/local/lib on the first line under Paths and Directories: include_path = /usr/home/roatan/usr/local/lib/php/PEAR-1.0.1 ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" Windows: "\path1;\path2" Which showed up in my test.php file as: include_path /usr/home/roatan/usr/local/lib/php/PEAR-1.0.1 /usr/home/roatan/usr/local/lib/php/PEAR-1.0.1 But the top of the test.php file still indicates '--without-pear' PHPaga requires PEAR:DB so I downloaded the most recent version from http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=46 and copied it into /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR-1.0.1 but I'm not sure that is where it should be. Then I tried to install that using the Semi-automatic installation instructions at the bottom of http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.cli.php which should be in this case, "pear install DB-1.3.tgz" from the command line, it didn't work, probably, once again, because of no CLI support. That's where I am at this point. I think if I can get PEAR and the module PEAR:DB installed, then I can install PHPaga. Please let me know if more details are needed.
