Pear installer fatal error

Just upgraded php (5.0.3) - compiled from source.

I'm trying to upgrade & install some Pear packages but get the following
error:

$ pear upgrade pear
downloading PEAR-1.3.5.tgz ...
Starting to download PEAR-1.3.5.tgz (108,423 bytes)
..........................done: 108,423 bytes
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 32768 bytes) in /Library/PHP5/share/pear/Archive/Tar.php on line
1405

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 32768 bytes) in /Library/PHP5/share/pear/Archive/Tar.php on line
1405
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 0 bytes)

I'm not quite sure what the problem is I have used Pear before and never
seen this sort of problem.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You've got PHP compiled with --enable-memory-limit, and the setting for
memory_limit in php.ini is 8M. PEAR apparently needs more memory than that to
install the package.

Increase the limit in php.ini temporarily.

re: Pear installer fatal error

I thought that might be the problem, this is the configuration I used

../configure \
--prefix=/Library/PHP5 \
--with-apxs2=/Library/Apache2/bin/apxs \
--enable-memory-limit \
--with-layout=GNU \
--with-regex=php \
--with-pear \
--enable-exif \
--with-gd \
--enable-mbstring \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-openssl \
--enable-pcntl \
--with-pcre-regex=yes \
--enable-posix \
--with-readline \
--enable-session \
--enable-shmop \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-tokenizer \
--enable-xml \
--with-xmlrpc \
--enable-xslt \
--with-zlib \
--enable-simplexml \
--with-sqlite \
--enable-sqlite-utf8

I increased the memory to 12M on php.ini but the problem persists how much
more do you think I should need to put it? I've always runned php with 8M
memory limit and never encountered this problem..

Thanks again.
