step 1 of the install

Every time I run the installer it fails to be able to create wp_linkcategories. It can make wp_links though, right afterwards.
Is this going to be a problem? I’m getting tired of blowing away the database and starting over (doing this all via command line is a pain, I barely know mysql.
Can’t find table ‘wp_linkcategories’, gonna create it…
Can’t create the table ‘wp_linkcategories’ in the database.
CREATE TABLE wp_linkcategories ( cat_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, cat_name tinytext NOT NULL, auto_toggle enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘N’, show_images enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_description enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_rating enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_updated enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, sort_order varchar(64) NOT NULL default ‘name’, sort_desc enum(‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘N’, text_before_link varchar(128) not null default ‘
‘, text_after_link varchar(128) not null default ‘
‘, text_after_all varchar(128) not null default ‘
‘, list_limit int not null default -1, PRIMARY KEY (cat_id) )
You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘-1, PRIMARY KEY (cat_id) )’ at line 1
any suggestions?
