As you wrote the pear-installation might be broken, you're probably refering
to www/horde vom pkgsrc as an alternative?

I already wondered if this could be an easier way to make it work, but from
the DESCR I am not sure what this "Framework" really installs and what would
still be missing when I want webmail.

And do I have to uninstall all currently present Horde packages, before
installing everything from Horde 5? Is there an easy way to uninstall
multiple packages with pear (like uninstall dependencies as well)?

Indeed, yesterday I noticed during installation that there were warnings
and/or errors, although pear reported "install ok" in the last line. I had
to add php-ldap and php-gettext from pkgsrc, for example.
I really don't like pear. I would expect it to halt on such a problem. :|

Yes. Same problem. The browser shows:

A fatal error has occurred
Class 'Horde_Exception' not found
Details have been logged for the administrator.

It wouldn't surprise when not a single Horde class works, but Horde_Exception
is just the first class referenced.

I would prefer to make the global installation in /usr/pkg/lib/php. But I
might try that for testing purposes.

Thanks for your help!
