Carlo, I am very close to completing the installation. I have a 
working Asterisk box with MySQL installed, as well as the Apache 
server up and running. I am getting the following error now when I 
try to run the FreePBX PHP install script:

# ./install_amp

Checking for PEAR DB..Failed
[FATAL] PEAR must be installed (requires DB.php). Include path: 
.:/usr/share/pear

I know that this means I'm missing the php-pear dependency but I 
can't seem to find it in the alpine apk's. I have added the 
php-dev apk
