 * rishmish,
    what version of PHP are you running?
 * It is throwing that error on an anonymous function which was introduced in PHP
   5.3 it sounds like you may be running an older version of PHP than 5.3

 * To help others in future I can confirm that upgrading from PHP5.2 to PHP5.3 resolved
   the same issue for me. Was able to change this in the management area of my hosting
   package.
