]]> I found that this error appears rather often online but almost no one has any idea why it would come up.  I found this error myself today while doing an install of FreePBX on Fedora 14.  My full error was:

Checking user..PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function posix_getpwuid() in /usr/src/freepbx-2.8.1/install_amp on line 728

This seems like it must be a permissions error.  But more than likely you are simply missing the PHP Posix library.  You can resolve this on Fedora with

yum -y install php-posix

Ta da!
