Hi Paul

I tried the instructions in the distrbution, but the 'make' command failed. I'll be poring over this: http://www.cs.utah.edu/dept/old/texinfo/make/make_toc.html & the man pages for a while.

well, the docs are quite stale. the go-pear.org domain is expired and for sale, so that's busted.

Does pear run well from /opt/local? I am trying to build a *AMP stack. (DAMP for Darwin?) It just looks like less re-configuring if it runs from the same directory as php.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Is there some reason to run the stock Apple php (PHP 4.4.7 ) vs a more recent and perhaps more extensible one?
