Hi Colin,
Your setup sounds just fine to me.
The "features.h" message is a bug in PEAR 1.4.4 that is fixed in PEAR
1.4.5 that will be released any day now, and Archive_Tar is a brand new
version, so automatic upgrade is disallowed until it can be tested in
the wild. THis is because if it were to break PEAR, this would make it
difficult to grab any packages. Hwoever, if you would like, upgrading
via "pear upgrade --loose Archive_Tar" should work, or "pear upgrade
--force Archive_Tar"
You do not need to re-install from scratch. Your host has an older CLI
version of PHP than the PHP version used by apache.
