OK, the downgrade to 4.4.0 was resolved (a bogus call to load the PHP5 
module--which still existed--was left in httpd.conf). All good, but i 
wanted to get PHP5 installed, so i started over again, this time leaving 
the php-pear RPM in place, but removing the others before make install. 
This satisfied PEAR and everything is fine.

That's for the benefit of google, and anyone else who might have 
similar problem.

However, i had to point extension_dir to /usr/lib/20050922/ because 
that's where make put them. This isn't critical (everything works) but 
i'm confused as to why that dir isn't /usr/lib/php (or php5). It seems 
rather odd to name it after what appears to be a date (though i don't 
see any files in the source distro which correlate to it).

Just curious.
