The "command configure" section of phpInfo shows the commands that where used during the compile of php. In order to enable pear you would need to recompile PHP with pear support..

In many distributions you can use the distributions package manager, for example

sudo apt-get install php-pear

PEAR is a collection of PHP classes, you don't have to "install" it. Simply download a package (which is normally one class and some helper classes) point (with require_once) your code to the main package class.
