It has been a few days now and still nothing on the installation problem and even the error on the gallery here at IPB is still existant with bug reports from the 28th still not fixed or touched.

I'm wondering about this also.

What errors are you getting? I have done a few gallery 2.1 installs with few issues. Usually it is a table issue with date not being renamed i/b/r whatever date or with the members permissions table

I work on both Gallery and IPB. We will release an update when it's ready. :)

I don't have admin access here, so I can't fix it here. We tried to rebuild the skin yesterday, but the issue appears to be deeper than that.
