After installing buddypress, I came across that error when trying to access the forums.

There was another post hightlighting this at http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forums-fatal-error-cannot-redeclare-checked#post-38627

But it does not give a solution and the poster only mentions that he fxed it by changing host.

I debbuged the issue and found that the issue is that the application open multiple mysql connection (4 or something) or a single page display and if you have a crappy hosting plan like I have, you might hit the connection limit and the application fails in this way which is not really graceful. (Go figure you have a mysql issue with that error )

The way I fixed it without changing plan is changing the connection command to mysql_pconnect to ensure that mysql reuse the same connection. However, it’s not a really a long term solution as mysql_pconnect is known to cause issues.
