Yes, I ran into the PEAR problem early on and fixed that...

Alas, no joy - same error.  Is there also an alternative way to indicate the

be diving back into the source code or installing everything from source
this time (I used the default rpms from Redhat for the Apache server and for
the latest version of PHP).
