I followed the upgrade instructions on the WordPress site from 1.0 to 2.0. When I got to the upgrade.php script I get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: wp_user in /home/goroboti/public_html/gallamine/charles/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 53
Any thoughts why?

*bump*
Are some of the files CHMODed wrong? Can't connect to the DB?
I don't think you can upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 directly, you probably have to upgrade to 1.5.2 then to 2.0. Search around a bit though, I'm not sure exactly what the sequence is.
You definitely have to go to 2 from 1.5.

Actually, I misspoke. It's an upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0. I just installed WP last June, so it had to have been 1.5.

So, no one has any idea what would be causing this error:
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: wp_user in /home/goroboti/public_html/gallamine/charles/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 53
In an upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0?

Could it have to do with my plugins? I deactivated all of them before upgrading. Is there a way to check which plugins are trying to be included? Is that somewhere in the DB?

Try reuploading all the WP files, especially /wp-includes/ and /wp-content/ directories. This sounds like the wp_user class is never getting defined, which means there might be a problem with the file that contains it.

markjaquith, that was the solution. Simple, but I didn't think of it. Thanks a ton!!
