[imp] Problem w/ PHP 4.2.1, IMP 3.0, Log.php

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Dan Brown <dan@familybrown.org>:

|     I've been running Horde 2.0/IMP 3.0 under PHP 4.1.2 for a while with
| no problems.  Last night, I upgraded to PHP 4.2.1.  Now, I get this when
| I try to log in to IMP:
| 
| Warning: Failed opening 'Log.php' for inclusion 
| (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') 
| in /home/httpd/html/horde/lib/Horde.php on line 141
| 

Yup.  The problem is that the latest version of PHP/PEAR does not include 
any non-essential PEAR modules by default.  By "non-essential" this 
supposedly means any modules that are not used by the PEAR installer 
script.  Therefore, the Log modules aren't there and you have to manually 
install them.

I ran into the same problem while implementing some of the PGP 
functionality - a PEAR module that would make my life 1000x easier needs to 
be installed for it the PGP stuff to work correctly.

I'm not sure there has been a decision exactly how to handle the PEAR 
problem - you can take a look at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=horde-dev&m=102083650808611&w=2
for a partial discussion.

I went ahead and installed a temporary solution - namely instructions in 
the horde INSTALL file on how to install PEAR modules - just so that 
development could continue.  You can take a look at those instructions at:
