snag with 1.6 installation+issues

I'm trying to get Wagn installed, and have hit a snag that I can't find any help on

I run 

rake wagn:create

and I get the following error:

rake aborted!

Mysql::Error: No database selected: 

        select distinct ct.class_name, c.name, c.key, p.party_type, p.party_id 

        from cardtypes ct 

        join cards c on c.extension_id=ct.id and c.type='Cardtype'    

        join permissions p on p.card_id=c.id and p.task='create' 

I can't seem to figure this out

Any ideas?

(sorry if this is a dumb question and there is an obvious thing I am overlooking)
