    Installing an extension with the pecl command means :

    • downloading the sources
    • compiling them

    And, generally speaking, a windows machine doesn’t have what’s required to compile software like PHP and/or PHP extensions.

    A better / easier solution, in your case, would probably be to find a pre-compiled .dll of the extension, that matches your system and your version of PHP.

    With a bit of luck, maybe one of the versions provided on http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ could be OK ?

    (It’s what kind of acts as replacement of the old pecl4win, until the extensions for windows are available on windows.php.net)

    For more informations about which version you should use, take a look at the Which version do I choose? section, in the left side-bar of http://windows.php.net/
