I have recently upgraded to the latest svn version of Wordpress(2.5.1)
and Scriblio(revision 59) and scribllio themes(revision 7994).

When activating Scriblio plugin (no other plugins activated except for
bsuite) I encountered this error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /var/www/apache2-default/
wp/wp-content/plugins/scriblio/scriblio.php on line 1719


I have also upgraded bsuite to 3.0.5 but I still see these on
WordPress Plugin Management interface:

There is a new version of bStat Upgrader available. Download version
3.0.5 here or upgrade automatically.

There is a new version of bSuite Slideshow available. Download version
3.0.5 here or upgrade automatically.

There is a new version of bSuite Tag Importer available. Download
version 3.0.5 here or upgrade automatically.


Has anyone encountered the same error? any solutions?

Thanks!

After "googling" the error I found the explanation and the solution.
___________
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/18379/fid/51

"Parse Error: parse error, unexpected T_SL" What does that mean?

T_SL is the /T/oken for the /S/hift /L/eft operator (<<).
so "unexpected T_SL" means there is an occurence of << that is
syntactically incorrect. this commonly happens when you use heredoc
syntax ("<<<") and have whitespace before or after the closing
identifier. see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.st
ring.syntax.heredoc for details.

It is also common when a source code management system (CVS or
Subversion) cannot resolve a merge and has to place <<<<<<<< markers
in
the code.
___________

Using a text editor I edited out the markers placed by SVN on
scriblio.php (line 1719 is at the end of the file):

<<<<<<< .mine
?>
=======

?>>>>>>>> .r59

and kept the end tag

?>

or you could delete scriblio.php and download it again from the trunk
to get a clean file

I still have no idea on the messages regarding bStat Upgrader, bSuite
Slideshow, and bSuite Tag Importer

Your solution regarding the PHP error is spot on.

You can ignore the messages about upgrading bSuite (though bSuite 4 is
coming out soon with a number of useful new features).
