In Administer, Site Building, Modules, CCK, I cannot check the first box ("Content").

The only other box on the list that I cannot check is FileField Meta (6.x-3.0). It depends on FileField (enabled), getID3 (missing), and Content (disabled).

Looks like this version of CCK (6.x-2.3) was posted earlier today.

+1 for same problem.

I just did an upgrade to drupal 6.12 and cck 6.x-2.3 and got the same result.

*Update - Rolled back to cck 6.x-2.2 and still can't enable CCK on the modules page.

Hoping to study CCK before attending Lullabot seminar in Providence on Wed-Thurs-Fri, but unable to activate the module.

Any suggestions on how I can get CCK started?

Because "hankpalan.com" reported the same problem, I've elevated this comment from "support" to "bug".

Is it possible that you have a module installed that requires CCK?

I think of this because it may happen that a module which is installed, when updated, it suddenly requires another module that you don't have installed. When Drupal finds an installed module that requires another module, it disables the checkbox of that module (because Drupal don't to allow you to disable a module that's required by another module). So if the suddenly required is not installed, you cannot do anything here. the only way would be to identify the offending module, edit its .info file temporarily to remove the requirement of the other module, then visit modules administration again. Now, Drupal should allow you to install that module. Then, you can restore the .info file of the offending module, and maybe report the issue to the proper project.

Other than that, I have no idea what might be preventing you to install CCK. The corresponding checkbox to do so is managed by Drupal core based on module requirements, so there seems to be something weird here.

Would this be related at all to #482774: CCK throws unrecoverable error on update.php ?

Thanks, Markus! I moved the FileField folder up a level (up from Sites/All/Modules to Sites/All). Now the "Contents" (CCK) modules checkbox became checkable.

I then moved the FileField folder back to the Sites/All/Modules folder, and now its modules checkbox is checkable.

Now that I will be able to study CCK and Views during the next day and a half, it's on to the Lullabot Drupal training in Providence on Wed-Thurs-Fri!
