Can't edit or create user

[CapnKirk]

System: sugarcrm 6.1.5, php 5.3.6

I can view users just fine, but when I try to edit a user or create a new user, I get a blank page. I mean, the sugarcrm header is still there, but no edit form.

Checking the apache error_log, I find the following:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_encode() in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/sugarcrm/modules/Users/EditView.php on line 389, referer: http://[website deleted]/sugarcrm/index.php?module=Users&action=EditView&return_modu le=Users&return_action=DetailView

Is a php file missing or corrupted? Or a bug?

Thanks!

I traced the problem to my build of php 5.3.6.

My server is an up-to-date Gentoo AMD box. Although I had the USE flag set with "+json", equery showed json support NOT enabled for php.

I recompiled, watching the build carefully to make sure that json support was indeed being compiled into php. After the build was finished, I restarted Apache, checked with equery which now shows php with json support.

In sugarcrm I can now edit and create users.

I don't understand how it happened that json USE was enabled, but not compiled in. [sigh] Gremlins.
