I had the same problem and I found a ready-made PEAR package with
installation instructions on Horde Project's PEAR page, link below. Just
untar/unzip the provided package to some directory and add the path to the
php.ini.

If you are installing IMP on a Raq4, you will have to tackle with the UW
IMAPD "Mail Folder Internal Data" messages. I went for Open Webmail instead,
as it was recently released as a handy Cobalt pkg.

Thanks Mikael,

That did the trick. Downloaded the files, created a directory /usr/lib/php
and moved the files to that directory. Modified my php.ini in
/etc/httpd/php.ini to point to the include_path to point to this directory.

Then was the fun part. Did not seem to make any difference. So I stopped and
started apache and then it worked. Guess all php.ini changes require a
reload of the server to put changes into effect.

It now works.
