PHP_PEAR_TEMP_DIR seemed to have no effect. PHP_PEAR_CACHE_DIR did the trick. It used that directory during the build, but after I installed it, it no longer seems to be using it, which is exactly what I wanted. My rpm .spec file now has these commands in it: mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/pearcache make INSTALL_ROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT PHP_PEAR_CACHE_DIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/pearcache install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/pearcache ... and that successfully builds PHP with PEAR even when it has no permissions to /tmp/pear/cache. I saw no mention of either of these environment variable names in any PHP or PEAR documentation, or in the Makefiles. Now that I know it works, I tried to see if it occurs anywhere in the unpacked tar file, and the only hit is: >grep PHP_PEAR_CACHE_DIR */* Binary file pear/install-pear-nozlib.phar matches ... but the next person who encounters this problem will hopefully find this message when they Google for it. Thank you!
