PEAR installation problem

[c1sc0]

I'm trying to install symfony with PEAR and I get this msg. :

sudo pear install symfony/symfony

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 39 bytes) in /usr/share/php/PEAR/XMLParser.php on line 133
Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 23 bytes)

I'm running Ubuntu Breezy (5.10)

Any help welcome, I'll continue searching & post if I come up with a solution.

Cheers - Francis

FYI: solved the problem by increasing memory_limit in php.ini for the CLI:

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini (on my system)

I added an entry in the FAQ.

Maybe also add something about magic_quotes_gpc = Off
