The install went without a hitch, but now my site gives SQL
syntax errors at the root URL:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND (post_type = ‘attachment’) ORDER BY post_date ‘ at line 1]
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND (post_type = ‘attachment’) ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘()’ at line 1]
SELECT FOUND_ROWS()

I get the same error when I visit the admin page Manage->Posts.

On this page, it goes away when I select something other than “All”
for categories.

What’s up with that?

My info:
mysql 3.23.58
php 4.3.11
