FIX: Running PEAR, PECL & Co. under Mac OS X Mavericks DP6

When I tried to use pear under Mac OS X Mavericks DP6, I got a very unhelpful error message:

$ pecl

Could not open input file: /usr/lib/php/peclcmd.php

It seems that pear & pecl are not preinstalled! No problem, at least Mavericks provides an install package.

sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 /usr/lib/php/install-pear-nozlib.phar

Then the nightmare began:

$ sudo pecl install uploadprogress

No way! The /usr/include doesn't exist for phpize....Hours of trying error and searching... Thanks a post from Homebrew community, I got that problem fixed through:
