SimpleForum not so simple!

Ok, this is a bit weird. I have followed the instructions in SimpleForum and am having problems.
I am using the latest version of CMSB 3.03, Websitemembership 1.11 and SimpleForum 1.0.
I get as far as trying out /forumFiles/ and get the following error:
Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in _forum-init.php.
I checked the file and found the following:
// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('','cmsb/','cmsAdmin/','../cmsb/','../../cmsb/','../../../cmsb/','../../../../cmsb/','../cmsAdmin/','../../cmsAdmin/','../../../cmsAdmin/','../../../../cmsAdmin/');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in _forum-init.php."); }
My file path is:
/home/sandbox/public_html/706sandbox/builder
I tried changing the _forum-init.php filepath, but no success. I also decided to create the /forum directory and add the /forumFiles/ as described. No joy!
Any ideas?

Hi Ragi,
Have you tried changing it like the file path in the _forum-init.php file like this:
// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('','builder/','cmsAdmin/','../builder/','../../builder/','../../../builder/','../../../../builder/','../cmsAdmin/','../../cmsAdmin/','../../../cmsAdmin/','../../../../cmsAdmin/');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in _forum-init.php."); }

Damon: I decided to try and install simpleForum on another of my systems to see if it may be an OS issue. I therefore installed everything on a Google Cloud Ubuntu 14 VM.
This time no problem with the installation, no errors as described above, everything seems to work fine except....
When I create a new post, it generates the following error:
MySQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near '-accounts WHERE num = 2' at line 1 - in simpleForum.php on line 417 by mysql_get_query()
It only occurs when i wan to post a reply or create a new thread.
P.S. The record does get created and is viewable on the website & in CMSB.
Any ideas?

Hi Ragi,
I've resolved this issue in the build of Simple Forum that you sent us FTP details for. The issue was caused by an unescaped table name in the function sforum_db_getForumAdminEmails.
I'm going to release a new version of the simple forum plugin later today with a fix for this issue in.
Cheers,
