 * I’m having an issue where it says zip isn’t installed on this plugin, but zip
   is installed on my server (CentOS) and shows up in a PHPInfo information.
 * It shows up in phpinfo as:
 * Zip enabled
    Extension Version $Id: php_zip.c,v 1.1.2.43 2008/01/18 00:51:38 
   pajoye Exp $ Zip version 1.8.11 Libzip version 0.8.0-compatible
 * I tried to do an upgrade and I’ve restarted apache and neither made a difference.
 * Any suggestions?

 * I had this problem too, the plugin is expecting the “zip” binary to be in your
   path, not the usual gzip. `yum install zip` should take care of the issue for
   you.
