PHP has it's own gettext module which it needs to load (like it has a mysql module and so on...) I'd imagine your system is in one of the two states: * It has PHP and the gettext module installed, but it is commented out in php.ini. To fix, uncomment a line in php.ini that looks like: extension=php_gettext.dll * You don't have the gettext module installed, which in this case, you should use your package manager and install a module named similar to php-gettext. After each step, it should then be fixed by restarting the apache process. - Scott -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] To: The deducted Few, the disaffected Many, and our spiritual Leaders
Reply-To: Karl To: THE DISAFFECTED MANY, SPIRITUAL LEADERS, AND THE DEDUCTED FEW List instructions are at the end; letters are answered HOW A BIBLE PUBLISHER CORRUPTED CHRIST'S WORDS: Why Celebrity Christian accept a form of Judaism and bow to un-Christian apostasy By Charles E. Carlson This study is not written to convince anyone of what Jesus said, it only deals with what the Christian New Testament states Jesus said. This analysis is important to persons of all beliefs, faiths, and races who are trying to understand why wars seem to be happening to our world, and why many of those who call themselves by Jesus Christ's name seems to be consistently in support of wars against other races, currently a war for the most part directed at Islamic populations. This is a re-written and abbreviated version of our more far reaching 2006 series, The Sheep and the Goats Parts 1 2, which are drawn from a study of book of Matthew, chapter 25. Your author is responding to requests that we more clearly prove and document the essence of popular biblical distortion about Heaven and Hell in the book of Matthew. Chapters 24-25, which evangelical believe to contain Jesus' words, are intentionally distorted by these same persons, both in the text and footnotes to the text in most popular bible study versions. Christian Zionists at the pulpit of mega-churches are left with an untenable problem. It is impossible for them to tell the truth about what certain New Testament Bible passages say, or even to read them, without contradicting their own support for wars and for the constantly warring state of Israel. Church economics may also be a factor in scriptural compromise. Evangelical teaching and preaching often directly contradict that which Jesus taught about love and peace, and more surprisingly, celebrity Christian statements often directly conflict with Jesus' statements about Heaven and Hell. Celebrity Christian leaders may feel financial pressure to warp the New Testament into a wide and easy path interpretation, which they say points, not to Heaven and Hell, but to a second coming. Simply stated, pastors have learned they can't fill 10,000 seat arenas by leaning too heavily on sin, repentance and judgment as Jesus portrayed it in this carefully worded chapter. Many pastors no doubt justify compromise to save their own empires. This contrast them with what Christ called the narrow path or Strait gate. Our government's public policy of wars has become many churches' policy, and evangelicals are well know to be active politically. Every politician knows it pays to be born again. Thus an unspoken, unholy alliance has been created between financially successful false biblical teachers on one hand, and politically successful politicians and businessmen who thrive on serial wars, on the other. This bloodthirsty and anti-Christian heresy has cost untold lives in half a dozen holy wars in the 20 years or so since it metastasized into a judao-Christian political alliance. Oh that my enemy would write a book (unknown) The famous Scofield Reference Bible, perhaps the most powerfully promoted Bible ever written, is the godfather of modern bible distortion, which is now emulating and even exceeding in radicalism by other popular study bibles including the NIV Study Bible and the MacArthur Study Bible. Matthew 25 contains one of the most directly written and clearly self-explained passages on Heaven and Hell, which was once taken at face value, but which is now rejected in almost every evangelical (Christian Zionist) church, not to mention a growing number of mainline churches who are influence through dispensational bible studies, and celebrity-Christian media. Matthew, the first book in the New Testament, contains the most outrageous example of added words that directly contradicts Jesus words. A quote from the Scofield Reference Bible footnotes directly contradicts what Jesus Christ is quoted to have said, His simple words, taken from the King James Edition, describing the basis upon which Jesus told his followers He himself will someday judge every man from every tribe (nation). We start by reading Jesus' words in Matthew 25:31-35: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divided his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: (skip to40)---Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my

Thanks to all who offered suggestions. Some of the advice was technically over my head but It looks like the issue is solved in a way I did not expect.

I used it to wipe all partitions and their contents. Then tried an install of Kubuntu. No problems. I then ventured into an automatix install. Again no problem.
