I know this may be a bit off-topic, but I would like to use the PEAR library
to implement some of my database functions. Unfortunately, the PEAR
documentation is woefully incomplete and as a result i've been unable to

experience, but I figured out what the issue was for me.
PEAR installed perfectly but doing the pear install thing where it pulls the
package down and puts it where it needs to put it, I was doing what you were
