You're probably missing the Horde framework, based on the following:

The opa script is simply a shell script that causes the Kolab environment to 
override the base system's environment for the current session. Here it is 
(put this in your /root/.bashrc or similar shell startup file):

opa () {
        root="$1"
        if [ ! -d $root ]; then
                echo "opa:ERROR: OpenPKG root directory $root not found"
                return 1
        fi
        if [ ! -f "$root/etc/rc" ]; then
                echo "opa:ERROR: does not contain OpenPKG hierarchy"
                return 1
        fi
        eval `$root/etc/rc --eval all env`
}

After you've run this (by typing "# opa /kolab"), "which php" should 
return /kolab/bin/php, meaning the "php install-packages.php" command will 
install the framework into the Kolab hierarchy instead of your base systems'.

At the end of this exercise you need to have a "/kolab/lib/php/Horde" 
directory with a whole bunch of .php scripts in it. Note that there would 
already be these same scripts in this directory for use by the Kolab 
Free/Busy viewer, but these existing scripts are a lot older than the ones 
needed by the webclient, and as such need to be overwritten.

HTH.
