Table creation error during install

I get a bunch of these errors when I run install. I have the user, psw, host, and database all set correctly. I used MySQL Administrator to create a Schema called “wordpress.” Didn’t see anywhere where I had to set permissions — I’m testing this with the MySQL root user account so it should have full perms already.

Any idea why these errors occur in Step 2 ?

WordPress database error: [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 ‘/wp-admin_categories ( cat_ID int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, cat_name varch’ at line 1]
CREATE TABLE wp_/wp-admin_categories ( cat_ID int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, cat_name varchar(55) NOT NULL default ”, category_nicename varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”, category_description text NOT NULL, category_parent int(4) NOT NULL default ‘0’, PRIMARY KEY (cat_ID), UNIQUE KEY cat_name (cat_name), KEY category_nicename (category_nicename) )
