Database errors

I had trouble getting gallery 3 installed on my mac, but after installing finally, and getting the connection to work correctly, i am getting this error after the database installation is done and i click on the link to stat using the gallery.

I checked and the table exists in the database. So that shouldnt be the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
