Description:
After filling out the installation form and submitting, the installation failed
with:

"Cannot redeclare class namespace in
/var/www/users/ian/sites/sitename/includes/Namespace.php on line 52"

Further investigation showed that the redeclaration arose from
includes/Setup.php, and then from the second require_once(
"../includes/Namespace.php" ) with in that.

The following diff fixed the installation, and successfully installed MediaWiki:

$diff index.orig index.php
115,116c115,116
< require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" );

< require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" );

#require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" );
#require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" );

(NB: I fully expect that this is a bug in PHP rather than MediaWiki as the
require_once function doesn't seem to be doing what it's supposed to - however,
posting here first in case there is something specific MediaWiki does which
might affect require_once)
