Actually, that is the pear binary.

PEAR is a code library that ships with PHP.  Having the binary, though, 
assumes you have pear.  So "slocate DB.php".  DB.php is the PEAR database 
abstraction library.  You need to include the path to DB.php in the 
include_path in php.ini...then that script would work.

So, if you do slocate on DB.php and get something like 
"/usr/share/pear/DB.php" then add /usr/share/pear to your include_path.
