Description:
------------
when installing package with Gnope-Installer, as non root user, there is an error :

Starting to download Gtk2_PHPConfig-1.0.0RC1.tgz (23,616 bytes)

...done: 23,616 bytes

ERROR: failed to write /usr/bin/.tmpgtk2_phpconfig: failed to open stream: Permission non accordée

- temporary files should be located a this location.
- other package install work perfectly.
- I have made a chown for every pear files avoiding using sudo command for pear admin.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

PEAR is not meant to be run as a non-root user. If you want to
install a package, use 'sudo' or just login as the root user.

To explain further, Gtk2_PHPConfig creates an additional
file called 'gtk2_phpconfig' in /usr/bin for *nix systems.
non-root users do not have access to that directory, hence
the permission error.

If you don't want the "easy excutable" sitting in your /usr/
bin, simply comment or remove the following lines in
package.xml and re-install the package:
