[Plugin: Get Satisfaction] Will not activate – known issue, stagnant for 2 Months

I have a fresh installation of WordPress 3.0.1, with PEAR Version: 1.9.1, PHP Version: 5.2.14, and Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0

I have installed ‘HTTP_Request-1.4.4’ and ‘XML_Feed_Parser-1.0.3’

Per the readme – The files ‘topic-comments.php’ and ‘topic.php’ were copied from the plugin’s ‘theme’ directory to my current themes root directory

When I attempt to activate the ‘Get Satisfaction’ plugin I get the following error:
——————————
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Warning: require_once(HTTP/Request.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mikemancuso/portcitynerds.com/mhs/wp-content/plugins/get-satisfaction-for-wordpress/classes/HTTP_Request_Oauth.php on line 3

I wish that this was a user error or an isolated incident – their thread on the subject can be located at (http://gsfn.us/t/18ph9)
