I now have PEAR installed More often than not, I'm doing a new build of the same version of PHP with different configure options to support something we didn't need in the past but do now, so I can't depend on a new version number. However, my php builds always install in /usr/local/lib/php/ without a version number. During the build, they install in a temporary location that I (or my rpmbuild script) gives them. For example, make INSTALL_ROOT=/foo install Places it in /foo/usr/local/lib/php. However, it's still configured to work as though everything is under /usr/local/bin so when I actually install the RPM, which puts files there, everything looks like a default install. That's pretty standard. In the past, php didn't have any problems with this method. > You need to check what config files are being used by each > installation of PEAR.

My goal, however, is to have each installation of PEAR in the *SAME* directory. When the resulting RPM is installed on the system, it should replace whatever was there before. Other files and scripts should not have to be updated - they should expect things to be in the same (default) locations. > I cannot see any problems with using a different > --with-pear=/new/path for testing purposes. Right, but what about for production purposes? It should use /tmp/pear in a production install, it just should honor the temporary install root when building (and only when building). It feels like something is broken in PHP's Makefile or whatever pear install procedures it runs, that used to not be broken, but it may be some difference in my system environment since the last time I built a PHP RPM, that I'm not guessing is related. -- Cos
