Sounds like you're using a very old version of PEAR (<1.4.x). Try
upgrading (pear upgrade pear).

Hello,
you're right, I didn't think about this:
# pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.0b3
PHP Version: 4.3.10-16
Zend Engine Version: 1.3.0

But I can't upgrade pear:
# pear -v upgrade pear

Notice: Use of undefined constant PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR - assumed
'PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR' in Config.php on line 177

Notice: Use of undefined constant PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR - assumed
'PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR' in Config.php on line 408

....done: 283,443 bytes

PEAR not installed

Should I have an environment variable called PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR?
Where should it point to?

Thank you
Julien

Thanks a lot, Pierre and Justin, it works fine after reinstalling pear.
