It might be.  In SME Server the "include_path" in php.ini was changed to
read:
include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear-addons:/usr/share/pear"

Our pear addon rpms install files into the pear-addons folder.  It works for
us.  The php-pear rpm contains DB 1.6.2 and Mail 1.1.3 (installed in
/usr/share/pear), and our addon rpms of pear-db (1.7.6) and pear-mail
(1.1.4) install files to /usr/share/pear-addons.
