[gentoo-user] Re: PHP and PEAR

	Hi,

   I think I did not said things correctly.
   If I try to emerge any PEAR package, to install it the system tries to
use /usr/bin/pear which does not get installed exactly because PHP is compiled
without PEAR. I mean the pear core which can be used to install other pear packages.
   Actually if you look in the php5-sapi-r3.eclass you will see something like this:

    rm -rf ${D}/usr/bin/{phpize,php-config,pear}
    rm -rf ${D}/usr/lib/php/build
    rm -rf ${D}/usr/include/php

    It seems the installation of the latest php, which I use (it's devel system and I want
to have the latest possible PHP to test and develop for the future:)) deletes the pear stuff.
    As I said previously, I could tweak the .eclass myself but I don't want to do that since
I would have to do it on every upgrade.
    That is why I would have preffered to have a clear option whether to install PEAR upon
PHP installation or not in the form of a USE flag. This would be the nicest and cleanest way.
