I've tried:

    global $thumbs;
    $thumbs = new ThumbsUp();

    function thumbs_install() {

        //$thumbs = new ThumbsUp();
        $thumbs->installThumbsUp();
    }

    global $thumbs;

    function thumbs_install() {

        $thumbs = new ThumbsUp();
        $thumbs->installThumbsUp();
    }

And


    function thumbs_install() {

        global $thumbs;

        $thumbs = new ThumbsUp();
        $thumbs->installThumbsUp();
    }

And they *all* produce the same error:

*Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare thumbs_install() (previously declared in
/dev/site/wp-content/plugins/thumbs-up/thumbs-up.php:163) in *
/dev/site/wp-content/plugins/thumbs-up/thumbs-up.php* on line *164*

Saying that it does still activate the plugin.
