I'm getting the following class of messages in the Apache error log for several plugins after installing them with bin/configure:

There's no indication in the Web browser that there are errors. I presume that these errors really should be redirected to the browser rather than to the log files.

Here are the plugins:

• EditRowPlugin
• FlexWebListPlugin
• FlexWebListPlugin
• MailerContrib
• TinyMCEPlugin
• TinyMCEPlugin
• TwistyPlugin
• TwistyPlugin
• WebPermissionsPlugin

It's independent of the plugins. the bug is in the installer code, which ought to redirect STDERR.

Reckon this is right now; errors reported to the browser. (trunk only)
