Installation without installer

Hi all I am new to PEAR and I have a basic question. My ISP does not support PEAR at the moment. So I decided to install it myself within the document-root and then using ini_set("include_path", ".:/path_to_my_document_root/PEAR"); I was glad to find the go-pear script that seemed to do this task for me. Unfortunately the script did not work well because of wrong write permissions within my document-root. (Some files and directories were created, and I cannot delete them anymore... But that will be another task to do somewhen...) What I am asking myself now is if I just can do that "installation" by hand. My plan would be as follows: 1. Create a directory pear within my document-root 2. Create subdirectories 3. Use ini_set("include_path", ...) to point to my pear directory 4. Download the *.tgz archives and decompress it into the approriated subdirectories 5. Hopefuly work with PEAR classes as mentioned in documentation I think this plan should work. What I am not sure about is point 2. in the above list. What are the names of the direcories that I should use? I would be glad to get comments, experiences and tips on my sugestions. Thanks in advance -- Cheers Marco mailto:marco.schuler@scopein.ch
