 I'm testing CiviCRM 2.1.4 in standalone on a Linux box running Fedora Core 9.  The installation looks like its done but when I try to get it to verify my OpenID, I get a blank page back.  My Apache server log shows the following:

[error] [client 127.0.0.1] Successfully fetched 'http://awthird.myopenid.com/': GET response code 200, referer: http://localhost/yhsalums/standalone/index.php
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error:  No XML parser was found in /var/www/yhsalums/civicrm/packages/Auth/Yadis/XML.php on line 366, referer: http://localhost/yhsalums/standalone/index.php

Note that I've got the XML parser installed (maybe not the one CiviCRM is looking for?):

# pear list

Any hints about what gives?

TIA

Ugh.. OK - I'll check.  Any reason to believe the default installation in Fedora Core 9 would not be compiled with those in?

Hmm...  well, that's a bummer.  It's got SimpleXML but phpinfo says it's compiled with the flag --disable-dom.  I assume this means that this version of CiviCRM won't work with Fedora Core 9 out of the box?  Man... I hate compiling PHP.

Thanks for the tip.

Ah - success.  It loaded as a dynamic lib, so I didn't have to recompile PHP after all.  For Fedora, you have to install the php-xml package using yum or yumex.

Thanks for figuring this out, I'll add it to the standalone installation docs.
