If you're running apache, I'd suggest setting the include_path directive in a .htaccess like this: php_value include_path "." Else use set_ini() in your script. I suppose it would be easiest for you to set it for all documents in your docroot. The other way would be to include a configuration file in each script (all linked to the same, of course), so that you can easily activate or deactivate the unstable packages by commenting out the set_ini line. hth, Klaus
