Help! The first screen that came up after doing a simple installation showed thes error message:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'pear' in /var/www/html/start/bundled-libs/XML/RPC.php on line 41


Can someone help me get past this problem? Thanks!

Your PHP version does not support the xml_parser_create() functions. Those are needed for several tasks within Serendipity, so you need to recompile your PHP with those functions.

On top of that, your server has no central PEAR installation, which is another effect why you get the error. You can uncomment line 41 in that file to get it temprarily going, but without the xml_parser* functions you will not be able to use some plugins and trackback functions.
