Add pdo to your php.ini before installing pdo_pgsql, or install using -f "pear install -f pdo_pgsql". Incidentally, this will not be truly fixable until PEAR 1.4.x, when a package dependency with a providesextension can be used. Why? The new pecl command uses the -n switch that ignores php.ini, so my suggestion won't make any difference, the only way to detect pdo will be through the package registry. Greg
