PEAR Won't compile extensions

Hello,

I scoured the web trying to find a solution to this problem. If this
question has been posted before, please pardon me.

So, basically I custom compiled PHP 5.3.4 with this command on my
64-bit Ubuntu 2.6.32-31-server 10.04.2 Server with the latest updates
applied. I am trying to compile PHP to handle large files (2GB+). The
installation goes well if I compile PHP without the CFLAGS (This
doesn't give me the support to handle large files). Also, the version
of the PHP doesn't matter either--I have the same problem if I try to
compile 5.2.11.

[/COMMANDS]

I then issued this command to install PHP extensions:

[COMMANDS]
pear update-channels;pecl uninstall apc;pecl install apc;pear upgrade
PEAR; pear install HTTP; pear install HTTP_Download; pear install
HTTP_Header; pear install MIME_Type; pecl install pecl_http
[/COMMANDS]

However, I see that "pecl install XXX" doesn't do any good. i.e. does
not install or compile the extensions I need. This is the output I
got:

I checked to make sure that "noexec" is not set on /etc/fstab for /tmp/ folder.

Please advise as to what is going on here?

Someone else is facing the same problem on the link I am facing and I
do not wish to go through the custom compile route. Here's the link:

Thanks so much!
