I thought that FUDForum was pretty cool-- it installed at home on my Gentoo machine without a hitch with its strange install.php setup. Then the troubles began.
I've downloaded the zlib and non-zlib versions of 2.5.1 with web-browers and wget. I've even used CVS to checkout a copy of the current FUDForum sources and built "install.php" according to the readme. Everything I do has the same result: the PHP parser gives a parse error buried somewhere in the archive appended to the end of install.php. Is there any way to install FUD forum without relying on this install.php format? What ever happened to a nice, easy to use, .tar.gz file?

The installer is there because the non-installer way is way to complex and prone to errors. Hence, there is no way other then the installer to install the forum.
Is the PHP version on your Gentoo box & your server the same? Are the md5s of install.php that works and the one does not the same?

If there is a problem with PHP there is nothing to say that this problem won't materialize else where & cause problems.
I'd say you should compare the configurations between the two systems and see if you can spot any differences. I think the problem could be the result of
session.use_trans_sid or automatic page prefix/postfix script being added to the file or output filter being used on the server. Once you determine the culprit I can help you resolve the problem.
