! <p>You have most likely used WinZip to decompress the Geeklog files. As noted <a href="#ParseError">at the top of this document</a>, WinZip sometimes corrupts stuff and these errors are the results.

! <p>Similar parse errors can occur when you use a "WYSIWYG" HTML editor, such as Dreamweaver, to edit the lib-common.php. In that case, please get a fresh copy of the lib-common.php file and make your changes again, using another editor.</p>
