Normally, Nominatim takes care to call osm2pgsql in the right way so that this table is created (adding the -O gazetteer parameter). You should follow the installation instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation If you followed these instruction and still can't find the placex table, then you are most likely using an old version of osm2pgsql which had a bug in the table creation code. Get the latest version of osm2pgsql from subversion and build it yourself.
