Hello Robert, If you wish to receive the best advice for PEAR questions, ask on pear-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, and for PECL questions (questions that have to do with the internals of the extension, compilation problems, etc.) ask on pecl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx This problem is easily solved: pecl config-set ext_dir /usr/local/php/ext voila. No need to futz with php.ini or copy the extension (a bad idea - you have to remember that you did this when you decide to upgrade or uninstall) PEAR uses its own configuration file which is independent of php.ini. Why? You can use the same PEAR extensions in command-line code and for web applications. These often have completely different php.ini settings for obvious reasons (no need for apache-specific stuff inside the command-line php).
