[isf-wifidog] CVS 05 Jan, 2005 server install fails

[Ray Gwinn]

I had to take some time off from wifidog.  But I started up again 
this weekend.  I downloaded the current source on Saturday or 
Sunday. 

I am no longer using symlinks. The httpd.conf file points to real 
directories.

The script install.php runs to completion, and a message is 
displayed that I will be rediredted in 3 seconds (I think).

The redirection occurs, and then a message saying "smarty is not 
installed" and I am sent back to the install.php.

Since it has been a few weeks since I worked on the install, I 
decided to re-install everything, including the OS (FC4).  After the 
total re-install, the same problem occurred, ie "smarty is not 
installed".  BTW, smarty seems to be installed in its default 
location.

The only thing I changed in config.php is the default language to 
en.

BTW, I had an old wifidog-auth from sourceforge installed and 
working.  However, since switching to the cvs (now svn) versions, I 
have never got past the "smarty is not installed" error, even though 
install.php completes without error.

Can anyone suggest something that may get me beyond the "smarty is
not installed" problem.
