UPDATE: Ok I tried 2.2.8 RC2 and it seemed to install fine, though it gave the same BASEDIR error as above. I found the basedir article on the wiki ( http://www.eirma.org/wikis/index.php...asedir_Setting ) but its not fully clear, I'm going to guess that once I go into the admin section I can repoint things.

The first error (patch_links_dbtables_stage1 not found) meant that the file includes/local_links_admininclude.php was not found - i.e. it had not been uploaded correctly.

The open_basedir message is just a warning. open_basedir is a web server/php security mechanism to stop scripts gaining access to the whole of the file system on your server. Provided it has been set up reasonably (i.e. so that your site has access to itself), you should not have problems with LDM in normal use. You could have problems if you try to use some of the more fancy LDM features which allow you to store files outside the website.
