But I don't believe they need to. For example, if I check horde's test.php page, it says I do have mail_mime installed, but that's not shown in 'pear list'. If I 'rpm -e pear-mail_mime', restart apache and check again with Horde's test.php, it says I don't have Mail_Mime installed. I'd like to see proof as well that the ones that are duplicates are actually using the newer version in pear-addons, but I have little doubt the newer version is being used, as the rpms were made to fix (and did fix) bugs we encountered. I looked for some php documentation to say the first path in the "include_path" setting overrides the second but didn't find any. But if you google for 'pear "include_path to override"', you'll see some remarks that putting the additional path first works though. Greg
