Comment(by SteveBooth):

 Further info:  This is caused by weirdnesses in the $SYSTEM variables on
 my host ISP server, which is running SunOS.These are the values when
 running the WP root index.php:

 {{{
     REQUEST_URI: (i.e. Null)
     SCRIPT_NAME: /wordpress/index.php
     PHP_SELF: /wordpress/index.php
     SERVER_NAME: stevenmbooth.com
 }}}

 The installer is going to have a real problem with this.  In fact, I'm in
 the middle of *trying* to install bbPress, and frankly it's been a
 nightmare, trying to get it to even run on this platform.  To get at least
 a fairly reasonable value into REQUEST URI, I inserted the following code
 into bb_load.php:

 {{{
         // On some SunOS/Solarix systems, we need to construct the path
 from
         // the SERVER_NAME and the SCRIPT_NAME:
         if ( !isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) &&
               isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) &&
               isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) ) {
                 $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = 'http://' .
 $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
                 $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
         }
 }}}

 I suspect a similar thing needs to be done for WP.
