I encountered this also, and fixed it in one of my installations (although I don't remember which one, and I can't remember if it was a CVS installation or the official tarfile). If I'm not mistaken, the creating the survsimp_surveys table doesn't work because of an extraneous comma after the definition of the display_type column. Remove that comma, and all should be fine.
If I can find dig up more information about what I did, I'll post it here.
