I am upgrading my 1.6.7 to 1.8.2

followed the instructions (I think) when I run the update.php script I get

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION' or `T_FUNCTION' or `T_VAR' or `'}'' in /Library/WebServer/Documents/wiki/includes/Exception.php on line 139

???

any help would be appreciated.

If you use PHP 4, upgrade to PHP 5; if you can't, just upgrade MediaWiki to version 1.6.8 and not 1.8.2.

You seem to run the "update.php" script on PHP 4, then. Search for a shell command which uses PHP 5 ? maybe "php5 maintenance/update.php". You can check the command's PHP version using "php --version", "php5 --version", etc.
