But if you do not upgrade PHP itself as well you need to add a few lines in the beginning of PEAR.php: define('PHP_BINDIR', '/usr/local/bin'); define('PEAR_INSTALL_DIR', '/usr/local/lib/php'); define('PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR', '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/20001222'); Adjust the paths accordingly if you are using a non-default --prefix, or if you are using an older version than 4.0.4. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@fast.no> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
