Zip extension in moodle 2.0

Hi,

I'm trying to install Moodle 2.0 Preview 4 in a Mac OS X environment (10.6), but I found the following message:

'The Zip PHP extension is now required by Moodle, info-ZIP binaries or PclZip library are not used anymore.'

and the installation ends.

In that MAC, the PHP version is 5.3.

How can I solve that porblem?

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Mac but on Windows I'd tell you to enable the following extensions in your php.ini file:

extension=php_zip.dll
extension=php_xmlrpc.dll

Apparently the zip functionality is now built into PHP 5.3 so you might not need the php_zip.dll extension.

But back to the Mac...
