   I was trying to install WordPress 3.0.1 on my MAMP localhost but the 1st install screen came out a blank page. Error log reported:

   [30-Jul-2010 14:29:35] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class wpdb in /Users/me/Sites/buddy/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 53

   It installed fine using 3.0.

   Anyway, just wanted others and the WP team to know about this.

   The same thing happens for me - 3.0.1 fails with the above error at install.php.

   3.0 works fine on the same setup.

   (Using the latest MAMP on Mac OS X 10.4.11, should that make a difference.)

   I just tried with 3.0 and I'm still getting the error.

   Workaround: Install using 2.9.2, then upgrade.

   I got the same message using MAMP on my Mac. I tried redownloading WordPress 3.0.4 and no change. Any ideas?? I'm at a loss.

   Same problem with me using MAMP.

   I just stopped MAMP and restarted. Now it works fine. Could be that apache was somehow caching something from another local WP installation?

    I had this problem and I fixed it by changing the PHP used in MAMP to an older version. For some reason the default PHP is not a stable version.

    Restart MAMP effectively addresses the issue.
