I receive this error. The site was running for about 2 years now. then this error suddenly appeared. As the operator of the page affirmed, he nor changed anything in the configuration neither installed something new.
I installed the page 2 years go.
I updated to the latest version (1.4.1) but recieve the same error.

the page is http://www.maintaunswahn.de

PHP Version is - unfortunately - 4.1.2

Can you quote the exact error message, please (including file name and line number)?

This is an attempt to load the PHP compatibility layer (due to the old PHP version you're on). This is part of the PEAR classes we ship, so check your PEAR settings.

ok, I figured something out:

The error differs with different PHP versions. In my webspace-config I can choose different php-versions. Using 4.1.2 the error described before appears, newer Versions of PHP show the following:

Failed opening required '/mnt/ja1/04/887/00000011/htdocs/geeklog/system/classes/timer.class.php' (include_path='.:/opt/RZphp4/includes' in /mnt/web4/22/63/5887863/htdocs/geeklog/public_html/lib-common.php on line 158

???

the old error was:

Failed opening required 'PHP/Compat.php' (include_path='' in /mnt/web4/22/63/5887863/htdocs/geeklog/public_html/lib-common.php on line 147

Your line numbers don't seem to match with the lib-common.php for Geeklog 1.4.1

Also, double check that the files it's complaining about are really there - that may be your actual problem ...
