user warning: Unknown column 'page' in 'where clause' query: SELECT * FROM view_view WHERE page = 1 in /Volumes/INPROL_DATA/WebS

I think I've narrowed down the problem: views.install isn't working in the cvs version, at least for my system. Problems went away when I manually installed Views tables used code stripped from the .install file. Here it is if anyone else needs it.
