Fatal error: Class 'cite' not found

[newtodaniweb]

Greetings! I'm developing my own wiki and installed v1.6.5. I use MySQL v5.0.83. The wiki itself functions fine but after adding the extension Cite.php and adding the call command require_once( "$IP/extensions/Cite/Cite.php"); it gives me the stubborn fatal error message Fatal error: Class 'Cite' not found in $IP/wiki/extensions/Cite/Cite.php on line 54.
From my research this is failing to call Cite.php from itself which sounds impossible. Truly at a loss here.

Cite.php:

<?php
if ( ! defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) )
	die();
/**#@+

 * citations to pages

The line:

new Cite;

means that there needs to be a class called Cite, not a file called Cite.php. Even if there was a Cite class, the code in the wfCite function wouldn't need that line as it doesn't reference the object after that. Remove that line and your code should be fine.

[newtodaniweb]

tried it. Removed new Cite; and the page loads but it fails to do anything when I put in the <ref></ref><references /> tags. It must be trying to create the Cite class for use with further handling.

The line error is actually being returned as Line 51 - which is new Cite; I just don't know what to do about it.

I fixed it - incompatible version of cite.php for Mediawiki 1.6.5 I was ahead of the game. Anyone with this problem follow the instructions here http://www.ipbwiki.com/forums/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=71
