you have 2 way

1) including in php.ini

like

; unix: "/path1:/path2" ;include_path = ".:/php/includes" ;window include_path = ".;c:\php\includes;c:\wamp\zendframework-1.11.11\library"

2)add pear directory valid directory in apache config like

<directory "/usr/share/rrdtool/fonts/"> options allowoverride none order allow,deny allow </directory>
