Gah!!

'--disable-all'

And, you need session support to run SMF.  It's enabled by default, but of course --disable-all with cruft that out of the way.

1.1's installer shows a better error message.

Hi,

Thanks Unknown. I removed php and before the install I added --enable-session.

That did the trick
