Two things:
1) This is a common thing.  db_sql is part of phplib, if you're getting
that error phplib isn't setup correctly.  I'm not sure what your setup
is, but the easiest way is to simplt put a line at the top of config.php
that reads:
include('/path/to/phplib/prepend.php3');  This will make sure that all
of phplib's functionality is setup correctly

2) You are using phpsalash-0.62.  Consider using 0.65pre1, CVS HEAD or
wait a day or so for me to release 0.65-final.  There are substanial
changes on 0.65 and if you're jsut setting up a site, it's silly to
install something only to upgrade it in a day.

I meant to release 0.65 last weekend but I hosed my RedHat system, got
brave and isntalled Debian. Fianlly got my bearing with debian this
week, tried to restore my backups from the redhat box only to notice
that the zip drive had eaten them.  Ho hum..  So it's been a poopy week
for me in terms of comptuers, but I will co -ft tonight and get it into
-stable and make a release before the end of Sunday barring any last
minute bugs with the current CVS.
