This is probably a "stand alone" BlueOnyx install, installed from the CD, 
right? 

If so, then the /tmp directory is mounted "noexec", which prevents to run 
executeables from within the /tmp directory as a security measure. That then 
prevents PECL and/or PEAR related installs where stuff is downloaded to and 
compiled in /tmp.

Work around:

Edit /etc/fstab and find the line where the /tmp directory is mentioned.

It may look similar to this:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /tmp   ext3    noexec,nosuid,rw        1 2

Simply replace the "noexec,nosuid,rw" section of this line with "defaults" (no 
quotes!) and save the changes. Then reboot the box. That will remove the "no 
executeables allowed" and "no SUID files allowed" restrictions from /tmp.

In our example the "corrected" line would then like this:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /tmp   ext3    defaults        1 2

Once you have the PECL module installed, revert the changes back and restart 
the box again.
