I can't get past the install script...

Code:
Would you like smartcoin to attempt to auto-detect installed miners? (y)es or (n)o?

Select the local phoenix installation from the list above

What do I type here?  It's not obvious....

Breaking out of that, I can't configure it manually... edit settings brings up the following..

Code:
smartcoin Management System r469() Tue Jul 19 18:42:55 BST 2011

EDIT SETTINGS
Select the setting from the list above that you wish to edit

*What* list above???

I'm clearly missing something obvious as others have managed to get it to work, but damned if I can see it..

It appears that the database failed to be created, which is why all your selection options are blank. The only way I can see this happening is if you checked out the smartcoin source to a path requiring root permissions (/root or /opt, for example), then ran the install script as a user without root permissions.
What is your install location? 
If you are trying to install in a location requiring root access, switch to the root user first:
Code:
sudo su

Aside from that, please list some more details about your setup:
- Distro being used
- 32 or 64 bit
- install location
