Is it really at that point? Could you try a make -dl install again? If it's 
the package list generation for real, then I'm gonna suspect something on a 
system level, like IO errors or read-only mounts.

If it is the same thing with pear install command, then perhaps you should 
pkg_delete -r pear-1.8.1 (careful, will uninstall anything depending on pear) 
and start over to see if the error persists. The pear command sure can use 
some more verbosity then.
