change individual locations, type the number in front of the
directory. Type 'all' to change all of them or simply press Enter to
accept these locations.

1. Installation base ($prefix) : /usr/local
2. Temporary directory for processing : /tmp/pear/install
3. Temporary directory for downloads : /tmp/pear/install
4. Binaries directory : /usr/local/bin
5. PHP code directory ($php_dir) : /usr/local/share/pear

9. Public Web Files directory : /usr/local/www

For the dependencies, it is easiest to install them using pkgs/ports, and once the dependencies are met, to try the install script. There is a port/pkg for pear at devel/pear.
