Frustration!

I've been trying to install Geeklog all night and I can't seem to get it right. I've tried everything I can think of.....
I keep getting the "does not exist" directory error, and the error that ends in "halt". Below is the code for config.php and lib-database.php
CONFIG:

// collisions with other tables that may already exist in your database.

Take a look at your paths again and make sure they are correct. You are using a URL where the path to the config file is.
Example (for windows users) of a path is:
$_CONF['path'] = 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/'; // should end in a slash

$_CONF['path'] = 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/'; // should end in a slash

now that you've provided your config.php for all to see you may now want to change your database username and password. 
and ya, your path to your public_html dir should be just that, a "path" not a "url". something like /usr/var/public_html/.

Yeah that was pretty dumb of me.... It's late and I wasn't paying attention 
Alright, got config sorted out I think, but I am not sure where to put the path in lib-database....
Like this?

Okay, I got past the first step 
Now I'm getting this:
I know that it means there's some kind of typo somewhere in my database-lib file.... And that's the one file I still don't fully understand.
Here's the file for you to look at. My config file is in var/www/html/config.php.
* Include appropriate DBMS object
*
*/
require_once( '/var/www/html/config.php' ) . 'databases/'. $_DB_dbms . '.class.php');
// Instantiate the database object
$_DB = new database($_DB_host,$_DB_name,$_DB_user,$_DB_pass,'COM_errorLog');
// +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | These are the library functions. In all cases they turn around and make |
// | calls to the DBMS specific functions. These ARE to be used directly in |
// | the code...do NOT use the $_DB methods directly
// +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Off to get some sleep now. Hopefully one of you guys can tell me what I've done wrong in there....
You've been very helpful.
Now I'm getting this:
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/system/lib-database.php on line 110
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/html/admin/install/install.php on line 167

DON'T change anything in lib-database.php. All the changes you have to make are in config.php (plus that one line in lib-common.php). Don't change any other file (and if you did, please restore the original version of those files).
It looks like you're making things much too complicated for yourself. You only have to change one or two paths ($_CONF['path'] and, possibly, $_CONF['path_html']) and one URL ($_CONF['site_url']) in config.php plus that one line in lib-common.php (plus, of course, the database information) to get the site up and running.

Looks like a corrupted lib-common.php.
Also, you have both $_CONF['path'] and $_CONF['path_html'] pointing to the same directory. This is not a good idea. The two should be kept separate of each other, as in the original directory layout of the tarball.
