It seems like there are a lot of php extensions required now for this version of Drupal.
I have been trying to install Drupal 7 for weeks now and keep getting stopped by fatal error.
So far I've had to turn on 3 extensions that weren't needed by 6.x.
PECL Filter
PDO
CTYPE

That is fine that you need them but I wish I could have done all of the changes at once.

I have 4 Drupal 6.x sites on 5 different servers in my company that work without those extension.

ctype isn't required as far as I can tell. I couldn't find any reference to ctype in the drupal CVS except it being briefly used in 4.7.

The others aren't so much a problem as the installer should stop and tell you you're missing the requirements. Some hook_requirements magic more than likely.

These are all checked now (except for ctype, not sure what's going on there) in system_requirements.
