On a default 7.2 load this is not installed.  Are you sure you installed it?  Please do a:
pear list
and confirm you can see it.  If not, then it's not installed and you will need to - pear install channel://pear.php.net/HTTP_WebDAV_Server-1.0.0RC4 to install it as it is still a beta package, or create yourself a set of RPMS and put then in the correct place.

Ok, at least I find out that it must have something to do with the search path in some way's cause if I copy the complete pear dir under my applications dir it works. Strangest thing is that the include_path does have /usr/share/pear as option which should enable it to find pear modules, but it doesn't

It has to do with the php_basedir restrictions, the path to the PEAR libraries is proabably not in the PHPBaseDir variable for the ibay from which you are running the PEAR library. Have a look at the wiki, I believe that there is a FAQ or Howto for configuring the PHPBaseDire setting.

Thank you, this hint did the trick.
It was really the open_basedir option which was preventing my application from accessing the pear dir.
