pear mail error

I installed the Pear mail package and then created a quick script
using the example from http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php

I getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR_Error::send() in /var/www/
html/site/htdocs/testmail.php on line 17

Anyone know why this is happening? The object is successfully created
and the send() method is included in the class that successfully
created the object, so I don't understand how this is even possible.

TIA

You may want to show us the lines 1-17 of your testmail.php.

Here it is (it's the same code as found on the example at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php:

include('Mail.php');

$recipients = 'jim@example.com';

$headers['From'] = 'richard@example.com';
$headers['To'] = 'john@example.com';
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';

$body = 'Test message';

$params['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('sendmail', $params);

$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
?>

Re: pear mail error

I figured out the problem. The pear package installed did not include
permissions that allowed php to access the pear files. This is very
strange and should not happen on a package install and, as of yet, I
don't know what caused it.
