FWIW, I picked one of your modules at random, and "pear install" told me to use "pecl install uploadprogress", and it worked fine.
An initial major problem was in the final line of that mess, the one that said, "PHP Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP in Unknown on line 0." This turns out to be a directive in php.ini. Commenting that out helped considerably and enabled me to install horde. A fair amount of the rest of this seems to have been that I needed to use pecl rather than pear to deinstall and reinstall these modules. A couple of them (notably memcache) I had to build by hand since pecl install failed. And a couple of them still wouldn't build even then, so they remain commented out in php.ini. So I was misled by pear producing the errors and, apparently because I already had these modules installed, nothing was telling me I needed to use pecl instead. A convenient way of knowing when I should be using pecl and when I should be using pear would be really nice; this part is just plain ugly, and I'm venturing a high confidence guess that I'm not the first to complain. Finally, if I ever figure out how to get horde working properly, it will probably be a miracle. Thanks!
