I think this is normal, although some here will say that you need to get better access to your server to change things - the lines that you see, are just the script identifying which paths can't be found - and although it looks like a series of errors, it is just a really badly designed bit of page layout that makes you think all is broken.

If you scroll down you get the opportunity to change the paths to the ones that you know exist. again this is done through a badly designed bit of interface that wont tell you if you get it wrong.

The best thing is to spend some time finding out where all the paths that the script says you need are exactly - and enter them into the right boxes - before pressing next.

I have installed 4 very happy installations and all gave the lines that you have shown - not errors so much as tests.

at worst go through with the full install - just doing waht you can - and see what happens, you can always delete and try again.

hope this helps.

edit: it looks like the usr/lib/php path that the script is trying is wrong - tell it the right one - you can usually get this from cpanel or by looking at the directories of your install server
