Hello CentOS users,
I'm using gChartPhp by having copied it into /var/www/html dir.
It works ok, but I wonder how to better install/organize/maintain PEAR "packages" under CentOS?
I've got the php-pecl rpm installed too, wonder if it's helpful here. Or maybe just add a dir to php.ini?
Please share your PHP "admin" wisdom
Regards Alex

Review, and learn to write your own, PHP RPM's. That brings them into the already existing dependency and update management available. You can set "yum" to look in your local Yum repository as well for updates.
Make sure to publish your own package updates to EPEL or RPMforge for packages that are not part of the core, upstream RHEL distribution. I love CentOS extas, but the updates for tools like "mock" are too out of date to be usable for me, so I rely on EPEL and RPMforge.

Maybe I should just copy gChartPhp's files here:
# ls GChartPhp/PEAR/ gBarChart.php gMapChart.php gScatterChart.php gChart.php gMeterChart.php gStackedBarChart.php gConcentricPieChart.php gOverlappedBarChart.php gVennDiagram.php gFormula.php gPie3DChart.php utility.php gGroupedBarChart.php gPieChart.php gLineChart.php gQRCode.php
into /usr/share/pear/PEAR?
With perl I install additional modules (those which aren't available as rpm's yet) easily with "perl -MCpan -e shell"
But with PHP stuff I'm lost. I'm not sure if I can just copy files into /usr/share/pear without updating some housekeeping files...

I don't quite understand your whole question. What has this to do with PEAR? It's not a PEAR package, it's a library that's hosted on code.google.com.

yes, but it has the subdir called "PEAR" in it...
If someone would ask: "how to install a Perl module which is not available as an rpm for CentOS?" Then I would answer: "run perl -MCPAN -e shell and then search module, install module in there"
So I've asked here in the hope that someone administering CentOS with many PHP libraries would share his/her tricks in doing so.
I'm sorry that it is drifting towards offtopic, I was hoping for a short hint here

The analogon would be "pear install <packagename>"; see
http://pear.php.net/manual/de/faq.users.php
But it is discouraged to do so and for the Perl CPAN install way documented and explained why not to run through this.
If you really can't get the Pear package you need from CentOS or any 3rd party repository, use your testing and development system to create an RPM your own, using the .spec from a different Pear RPM. You will certainly benefit from this approach in the long run to administrate your systems in the light of security and maintainability.
