Description:
------------
The generated scripts bin/pear and bin/pecl have the wrong path to the PHP executable. The path in the script look likes '/usr/local/lamp/apache2/bin/apxs2/bin/apxs/bin/php', where it must be '/usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php'. When manually chaning the path to that, it is working.

The output that i get is, logically:
exec: 28: /usr/local/lamp/apache2/bin/apxs/bin/php: not found

My configure statement:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lamp/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/lamp/apache2/bin/apxs --with-pear=/usr/local/lamp/php/lib/php [a lot of extensions]

The bin/pear script: http://pastebin.com/d132560e

Does /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php-config exist?
If so, what do these output:

# /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php-config --prefix

And

# /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php-config --php-binary
 [2009-05-09 10:34 UTC] oxie at live dot nl 
Yes, they exists.

oxan@webdev:~$ /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php-config --prefix
/usr/local/lamp/php
oxan@webdev:~$ /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php-config --php-binary
/usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php

Seems to be good...

Please check your Makefile for lines beginning with:

bindir =
exec_prefix =
prefix =
PEAR_INSTALLDIR =
 [2009-05-10 09:51 UTC] oxie at live dot nl 
They are there in this order:

bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
prefix = /usr/local/lamp/php
PEAR_INSTALLDIR = /usr/local/lamp/php/lib/php

(i have generate my makefile using the ./configure statement)

*the bin/pear scripted reposted (it was expired): http://pastebin.com/f640aacf

Can you give the output of this too:

# /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php -r 'echo PHP_BINDIR;'
 [2009-05-24 17:00 UTC] oxie at live dot nl 
Of course:

oxan@webdev:~$ /usr/local/lamp/php/bin/php -r 'echo PHP_BINDIR;'
/usr/local/lamp/php/bin
 [2009-05-25 08:09 UTC] jani@php.net 
There really isn't any way those scripts can get such weird paths unless you have some environment variables set with those paths. 

Also, how far this path is valid:

/usr/local/lamp/apache2/bin/apxs2/bin/apxs/bin/

I suggest you check your apache installation, maybe it's somehow leaking the paths. I can not reproduce this with clean, properly installed system using distro packages for Apache.
 [2009-05-25 16:51 UTC] oxie at live dot nl 
I think you're right...

After recompiling Apache and upgrading it to 2.2.11 (from 2.2.8) and recompiling PHP 5.2.9 it's all working.

Thanks for your time!
