pecl can't find PHP - 'No such file or directory'

Question

I have updated PHP on a CentOS install to PHP 5.5 via the Remi repository. The php-pear package is installed.

However, when I try and run pecl, it can't find the PHP install;

[root@box etc]# pecl
/usr/local/bin/pecl: line 28: /usr/local/bin/php: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/pecl: line 28: exec: /usr/local/bin/php: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Is there any way I can reconfigure pecl and supply a PHP location?

Both php -v and an Apache-served phpinfo() return 'PHP 5.5.0', so PHP is definitely installed.

Thanks!

I will suggest to remove all packages installed from source and install necessary packages via yum from http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/testing/CentOS/6/x86_64/

# rpm --import http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/IUS-COMMUNITY-GPG-KEY
# rpm -ivh http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/6/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-11.ius.centos6.noarch.rpm
# yum search php55 --enablerepo=ius-testing
