It seems good.

I've applied that now - thanks.

It's difficult for me to guess why not from this information.  Is it
possible that your PHP does not have PDO and/or pdo_pgsql built in?
This is an additional requirement in 0.9.8 which some others have
discovered.

Thanks.  There is already a FreeBSD port for DAViCal (or so I
understand) but it is perhaps a little out of date, and doesn't include
the dependency on PDO.  It might be a good starting point though.

Mind you, I haven't released 0.9.8 too widely because it is a
significant departure from the previous 0.9.7.x series and not
completely polished as a result.  Much of that should be resolved with
0.9.8.1 in a few days, which I intend to release much more widely.

Cheers,
					Andrew.
