Django model error abstract or not installed?

I'm getting the following error when trying to run python manage.py syncdb command

CommandError: One or more models did not validate: sms.message: 'originator' has a relation with model <class 'sms.models.message.Originator'>, which has either not been installed or is abstract.

models.py

class Originator(models.Model):
    originator_name = models.CharField(max_length=11)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='originators')


class Message(models.Model):
    content = models.TextField(help_text=_(u'The body of the message.'))
    recipient_number = models.CharField(max_length=32)
    sender = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', related_name='sent_sms_messages')
    originator = models.ForeignKey(Originator,
                                   related_name='Messages')

I don't see an issue tho! Can anyone else?

What I did notice is that when I remove the FK in Message to Originator the tables are created bar Originator which never gets created!

This is the model I'm adding to....

Maybe something else going on here?

Thanks

It installed when I added....

class Meta:
        app_label = 'sms'

To the Originator class

Are you sure User is the auth.User model there? It seems to be referring to the Originator model itself, which is strange.

You should probably do the same as you do in Message, and just use the string auth.User as the target of the Originator.user FK.
