 * On attempting to activate I get the following error…
    `Parse error: parse error,
   unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in/
   home/tcyc/www/web/wp-content/plugins/media-library-categories/media-categories.
   php on line 116`
 * Any clues?

 * sorry I know this was a month ago. I don’t get to the forums much. And unfortunately
   I don’t know exactly what would cause it to not activate. But I can make some
   guesses:
    – older php running on linux – conflicting plugins – older wordpress
   version
 * again these are just guesses.
