Description: ------------ When installing PEAR under PHP 4.4.1 the pear installation installs improperly. When I try to use it the return error says that either the pear path is blank or the pear path has an extra /pear in it. I am not proficent enough to make changes to fix this. I have tried the installation more than 5 times. One thing I did notice is that the pear installation for PHP 4.4.1 has PHP version 5 in the scripts. I know that PHP 4 and 5 have a different directory structure. Expected result: ---------------- I expected to be able to use pear to install pear packages. Actual result: -------------- I get an error that the pear path is blank or has an extra /pear in it. I installed several times and one of those 2 results occur after the installation.

turn on register_argc_argv in php.ini or use the cli version of php
