I am attempting to install pear-base into /usr/bin instead of /opt/local/bin. My best understanding from the man page is that I should use:
bash$ sudo port -D /usr/bin install pear-base
but it still ends up in /opt/local. Is there a way plant this pear tree next to /usr/bin/php?
You don't say why you want to do this or why the source tarball/distribution doesn't work for you. It looks, from reading the INSTALL file, that it is best installed by and within the php process.

==== make sure you have enabled default extensions, and if you want faster downloads, enable the zlib extension. You must also enable the CLI SAPI with the --enable-cli extension directive. After this, simply run: make install-pear and PEAR will be automatically configured for you. go-pear ======= For users who cannot perform the above steps, or who wish to obtain the latest PEAR with a slightly higher risk of failure, use go-pear. go-pear is obtained by downloading http://go-pear.org and saving it as go-pear.php. After downloading, simply run "php go-pear.php" or open it in a web browser (windows only) to download and install PEAR. Seems like you could use the system php to perform the second operation. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@gmail.com>
