If this is indeed a 'new install' and not an upgrade (or a reinstall of the same version) the error implies that you aren't starting out with a clean slate and that there is a file (or files) already sitting on the server that references this non existent field.
You could try adding this field as you have suggested (use type VARCHAR) as this will *change* the error message even if it doesn't fix the problem. The 'new' error message (if you get one) may provide a clue as to the module/addon that is trying to use it.
