Hi,

I personnaly don't know SOKKIT, maybe some here don know it ?
But from the error it seems that your install doesn't not like using undefined
variables. I see 2 possibilities :
- else SOKKIT has a "strict" option (something like the tainted mode from perl)
that set variable definition mandatory before use. If so try to find and disable
this option
- else some includes are not done (strange as global_pref.inc is read by an
include) or there are problem with sessions.

Maybe try to add this line in the beginning of global_pref.inc

if (! defined ($mode)) { $mode = ""; }

to see what it gives.

ps: which obm version do you use ?
