http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.php documents two options for installing the PEAR manager: 1. As part of PHP's make, as long as you don't do --without-pear 2. go-pear.php, which is interactive (and apparently "provisional")
Is there a supported *noninteractive* way to install PEAR after a PHP 5.2.* make that was configured --without-pear ? -- Cos
