Hello,
Is there a library available to allow connections to MySQL 4.1.x from
a Ruby install on a Windows XP machine? I don't have a C compiler on
this machine, so I'm looking for either a pure-ruby solution, or
pre-built binaries.

Hi,
Hello,

If ODBC is enough, I have connected to MySQL 4.1.x on Windows XP with
it. At the moment, with the changes in the mysql client library
(libclient.dll), I would say that ODBC is the easiest way to connect
to MySQL. 
The Ruby installer includes the ODBC driver. The Ruby-ODBC site is at:

If you need further help, please ask.
Cheers,
Joao

Small correction. I meant libmysql.dll, instead of libclient.dll. Sorry.
