Trying a PEAR or PECL list might do you more good.  That being said... 
are you trying to install packages that are listed as unstable when your 
configuration tries to install stable releases?

I tried pear install fileinfo, and got the message No release with 
state equal to: 'stable' found for 'fileinfo'. I installed Pear for the 
sole purpose attempting to get fileinfo compiled. I know *nothing* about 
it. If I'm understanding you correctly there may be a way to modify the 
pear config to compile unstable releases? I'll look into that (hadn't 
occured to me before)

I am just trying to get a version of fileinfo (preferably the latest) 
working on my PHP 5.0.1 on Win2k Pro. This is a test-only server, so I'm 
not too picky about what, or how, but, since I'll probably want more 
PECL extensions in the future, I may as well learn the proper way to do it.

Thanks,
Chris
