I have a [gentoo] server with 2 apache installations ...
the std distro apache runs with php4 which includes an installation
of PEAR and PECL.
the second apache is compiled by hand and runs with php5 (also compiled
by hand) - obviously both of these are installed somewhere other than
the default. the [custom] php5 installation does not include PEAR/PECL
(when I built/installed it I skipped that because I was worried I'd get a conflict
with the existing PEAR/PECL install and break something).
I would like to add the APC extension to the php5 setup, normally this is
as involved as doing the following:
> pecl install apc
only in this case that would install APC in the php4 setup.
the question is how do I go about getting a second/custom PEAR/PECL setup running
which I can use with/for the php5 setup. is this even possible? or
am I stuck with a manual download, compile and install of APC for the
php5 setup as described here for instance:
http://carroll.org.uk/archives/2006/02/02/alternative-php-cache-apc-on-debian)?
tia,

PS - STWF is giving me no joy, everything I find assumes the pecl/pear commands
are setup and running.
PPS - sorry for the overuse of the word 'setup' :-P

Is there any particular reason you couldn't recompile PHP5 with
the PEAR/PECL packages outside of the path? A prime example of
running two separate Apache servers with separate PHP installations is
cPanel --- if you're familiar with the service, you'll probably
already know that it uses it's own paths (/var/cpanel,
/usr/local/cpanel/bin), not those common on the system (/bin, /sbin,
etc.).
I've had different test boxes set up with numerous
compartmentalized installations --- one of my kitchen machines had
more than a dozen, just to try to screw it up one day because I was
bored (yes, I have systems all throughout my house and my truck).
As long as the PEAR/PECL API version matches the target PHP
installation API version, you should have no problem.
