Do those %defines at the top work in mock/plague setups where pear is not installed at the time the build begins? I think someone reported a problem with the similar approach taken in the python spec template in configurations where python is not in the initial set of packages (which could be a bug, but pear not being there is not). One possible fix would be to not do those defines, but to generate a filelist in %install and use that in %files, and drop the %defines altogether.

I tried changing the macros to just: %define peardir %(pear config-get php_dir 2> /dev/null) And this still worked under mock.
