Make sure that PHP is compiled with the CURL and SimpleXML extensions. You view a list of the modules using the following command:

If the CURL and SimpleXML modules aren't listed take a look at the enabling modules page.

MacOS X

OS X ships with PHP 4 so you'll have to upgrade to PHP 5. I've had reports that Marc Liyanage's PHP 5 package works well. Make sure that you remove all the PHP 4 programs from the path and then re-install PEAR.
