building php from source, pear doesn't install even when told to

[Dan Finn]

usinng php-4.3.4

using this for my configure script;
../configure --with-pear=/usr/local/lib/pear --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/sb
in/apxs --enable-track-vars --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock

then make; make install

output says it installed pear:
[root @ silence ] : make install
