php5 & pear & pecl (Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_match())

[Olivier Mueller]

Hello,

I would like to install the pop3 pecl extension 
(http://pecl.php.net/package/POP3) but I still can't get it :/

Problem: it seems that pecl is broken since last portupgrade which
upgraded php 5.0.x to php 5.1.x.   I managed to get pear back to work:

$ pear list
Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:
=========================================
Package        Version State
Archive_Tar    1.3.1   stable
Console_Getopt 1.2     stable
DB             1.7.6   stable
PEAR           1.4.8   stable
XML_RPC        1.4.5   stable


But when I try to start pecl:  (to do a "pecl install pop3")

$ pecl
 
Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_match()
in /usr/local/share/pear/PEAR/Frontend/CLI.php on line 70

But the preg functions are installed and active. (pcre.so & co.)
Last thing I tried: installation by hand, but this breaks too at:

[/usr/local/src/pop3-1.0.2]$ make
/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/src/pop3-1.0.2/libtool --mode=compile gcc

System is a  5.4-RELEASE-p12 with latest ports.

The dependencies of the pear package looks strange to me:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=pear-1.4.6 : php4-4.4.2_1,
php4-pcre-4.4.2_1, php4-xml-4.4.2_1, while it's a php5-system. Maybe
it's why I have problems?  

Browsing in the mailing list archive brings informations about a
"php5-pear" which doesn't seem to exist anymore... 
(confirmed by:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/php5-pear/ )

Well, I'd still like to get my pecl pop3 running... An idea? 
Under linux (with an php5 installation "by hand") everything
works directely, both "pecl install pop3" and from source. 

Thanks & regards,
Olivier
