Take a look into the script and see what it's trying to do.  9 out of 10
times, they'll also include a "somename.sql" to create the SQL manually in
your database.  I generally go in, create the database, use an admin
program to creat the sql from the file provided and then roll with it.  You
might look around in the config info for what you are installing --
sometimes you might need to specify a username/password that has the proper
permissions to create a database.  I'm assuming this is on your own server,
because things get wacky if you don't have complete access to your MySQL
database through shell access.  Then you have to use an admin type program
(phpMyAdmin for example) to stuff the data/structure into your database.
