I'm trying to install the extension runkit on my shared server. I
successfully installed a local copy of PEAR via the instructions at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.shared.php. Here is the resulting
configuration:

However when I try to install runit, I get an error:

bash-3.00$ pecl install runkit-beta
downloading runkit-0.9.tgz ...
Could not download from "http://pecl.php.net/get/runkit-0.9.tgz", cannot
download "pecl/runkit" (could not open /tmp/pear/cache/runkit-0.9.tgz for
writing)
Error: cannot download "pecl/runkit"

The directory /tmp/pear is owned by root, so I can't make changes to it. If
I try to change the temp-dir to something that works, I get another error:

bash-3.00$ pear config-set temp-dir ~/tmp
config-set (temp-dir, /home/maximumr/tmp, user) failed, channel pear.php.net

How can I make this work?

Errrr.

I don't think you want to do that...

I mean, it's just going to be WAY too easy to crash things in a Big
Way and have your webhost very angry with you...

Set it up on your own "dedicated" box in your house or something.

A 386 out of the computer graveyard would be fine, most likely.

I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist.

Yeah, I get a buck. So?

PHP runs as CGI, so it shouldn't cause any problem other then possibly with
my script-- or am I missing something?
