problems with pear using debian and php5

[crana2 <chris@heychris.com>]

I'm trying to install egroupware on my debian (etch) machine.
When running the preinstallation check of egroupware an error is displayed
for PEAR support stating that pear is not available.

Though I installed pear using apt-get install php-pear. So far there is no
specific php5 version for pear.

whereis pear gives the following result
pear: /usr/bin/pear /etc/pear /usr/X11R6/bin/pear /usr/bin/X11/pear

I know that the problem is in most cases the include path is the problem

my present include_path settings are
.:/usr/share/php:/usr/bin/PEAR:/usr/share/pear

btw, I tried the usr/bin setting with pear in small letters as well.

I don't know what the problem is. Normally pear should be in /usr/share
instead of usr/bin.

Any ideas how to go from here.
