THANKS!

After reading all the replies above, to maybe save others some time:
FIRST TWO TRIES DID NOT FIX IT:
1. going into the database, and changing the “permalink structure” field in the wp_options table – didn’t do anything for me. I changed it back to the original values.
2. I did NOT do anything with an .htacess file.

THIRD TRY WORKED LIKE A CHARM:
3. I edited wp-admin/includes/misc.php, forcing the value of $got_rewrite = true;

And that fixed it. Permalink page is no longer blank.

Thanks ipstenu!
