installing id3 to php 5

[The Little Guy]

I am currently hosted with dreamhost.com, and will this:
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Installing_PHP5#Compiling_a_Customized_PHP_5
allow me to add PECL? It says I can Customize PHP 5.

[b]Here is what PHP.net says for installing id3[/b]
id3 is part of PECL and can be installed using the PEAR installer. To compile PHP with id3 support, download the source code, put it in php-src/ext/id3 and compile PHP using --enable-id3.

    * New: Added --enable memory limit as the reason that most want to compile their is because they want to change the memory limit in php.ini
