Hi Ron, Sounds like you've done everything correctly, just PHP wasn't installed as a CLI. Just to be sure, do a $ find / -name php
Then, if it is found, $ lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ | /path/to/php If it's not found, just grap a PHP rpm (make sure it's a CLI version, or --with-cli) and install that.
