pecl install hits memory limi

Hi

I'm trying to install a pecl extension (svn) with te command pecl install svn. First it seems to work, but the I get the error message

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes) in /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/PackageFile/v
2/Validator.php on line 148

I don't know how to get past this... Anybody any ideas?

thanks

Philip

It sounds like you're trying to install svn for the server at large, which needless to say, ain't gonna fly.

If you're dead-set on creating your own installation, this may be of help:

But like they say there, it's probably much easier to use DH's installation if you can.

Ah that makes sense of course. Thank you.

I am using DH's installation for subversion. But I want to use it with the php library. So I'll try to install a custom php.

Thanks
