WP Recent Links Hack

for the first time, I am trying to install the latest version of wp recent-links. (version 1.33, I believe) Everything is okay in terms of my admin menu andit shows that I can create links. However, I have checked everything numerous times and am unable to create the table when I go to the the link for the setup file as directed. It says “couldn’t create table.” Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
