This looks to be related to PHP4. Since PHP 4 is EOL'd we don't do testing on it, though this release should have still worked with it.

To get this to work in PHP4, open up include/class.error_handler.php and change &$error_msg to $error_msg 

Please let me know if this works for you.

Best Regards,

Yes, this did help. Now the file was compiled with no error.
