 * Hello there.
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /home/
   ghi07/angeles-hill.com/wp-content/plugins/profile-custom-content-type/views/fields/
   webscraper.php on line 2
 * Profile CCT version 1.1.8.2
 * Many thanks, Greg.

 * Hi ghi07
 * Thanks for reporting this issue.
    Can you explain a bit more. I think we removed
   the file webscraper in version 1.1.2 –
 * I just tested it now and I didn’t have any problems. I think if you do a fresh
   install (delete the plugin and install it again) you should be good to go.
 * Cheers

 * Hello again.
    I’ve retested on two WordPress 3.3.2 sites, one of which has no
   other plugins installed, and unfortunately the problem still exists. I’m installing
   Profile CCT from the official WordPress site. When installed it shows as Profile
   Custom Content Type Version 1.1.8.2 by Enej Bajgoric, Eric Jackish, Aleksandar
   Arsovski, CTLT, UBC. Upon activation it gives the error message:
 * Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error–end of buffer missed in /home/
   ghi07/virgin.angeleshill.com/wp-content/plugins/profile-custom-content-type/views/
   fields/webscraper.php on line 2
 * Thanks for your support.
    Greg.

 * I opened up `webscraper.php`, and the first error I see is that the comment block
   is not closed:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       add_action('profile_cct_admin_pages', 'profile_cct_add_webscraper_fields_filter', 10, 1);
       ```
   
 * Tried closing it to see if that would fix everything, but then there was another
   error:
 * `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in mywebsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/
   profile-custom-content-type/views/fields/webscraper.php on line 10`
 * Removed the unnecessary parenthesis from line 10, and the plugin still won’t 
   work. It continues to cause a “fatal error,” but WordPress doesn’t give details
   this time.
 * This plugin needs a good bit of work, it seems!
