I had this error because /usr was mounted readonly. Run "mount -o remount,rw /usr" then try your command again.

You don't need to modify the chmod for all the /usr directory. You just have to 
run PECL as super user. Juste type sudo pecl <whatever>...

If you set a local pear directory:
$ pear config-set ext_dir ~/.pear/extensions
this will work for pear, but NOT for pecl:
$ pear install pecl/Mailparse
[...]
running: make INSTALL_ROOT="/home/user/.pear/extensions/tmp/..."
[...]
Installing '/usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/mailparse.so'

looks like if https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=6480 wasn't really fixed.

(correction: using PEAR Version: 1.9.4)

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

please disregard my previous reply, I selected a wrong reason for the status 
change.
the issue that you brought up and discussed here is a (possible) problem in the 
PEAR package.
you can open a bugreport on http://pear.php.net/bugs for this package
