1.8.2 Install Problems

[vinyl-junkie]

I'm going through a fresh install of the new 1.8.2 and running into a problem. I have manually created my database and tables, setup a username and password, changed config.php and connect.php. When I try to invoke admin/index.php for the first time, I get:

Table includes missing. ...but it's there! In fact, here is my list of tables:

clicks
engine
excludes
includes
keywords
logs
site_page
sites
sites_days_upd
spider
tempspider


I traced the problem to mysql_functions.php, but the error still makes no sense. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmmm. Won't let me delete my post. :(

I think I've just about solved this. Please disregard.
