You are trying to install a version of WP (probably 1.2) onto a server with – very probably – php5.
You could try downloading a nightly build – it would appear from a post on here that certain php5 issues may have been resolved. Hit the download page and scroll down for the nightlies.
Currently my server has PHP v 4.3.9, but I’ll try the nightlies anyway.
The blog seems to have installed just fine, but because of the error I didn’t get my password.

fyi… I circumvented this issue by adding my email to the “admin” row in the wp_users table through SQL (use the tool of your choice to edit database). Obviously use SET and UPDATE at your own risk. Using browser I went to the login screen and select4ed the “Lost your password?” feature and had it emailed to myself. Since it’s encrypted, you wont be able to see it in MySQL. Works without mucking with code.
