That's not the best way to manage PEAR packages. You should either
read the final chapter of PHP Cookbook or consult the online PEAR
documentation at http://pear.php.net.

This show you how to install "pear" and PEAR packages the correct way
and will save you a lot of time in the long run. (You may have some
initial troubles getting it to work, but once it's going everything
should be smooth sailing.)
