I'd examine why yum doesn't work in centos, it should do. Somethings
wrong with the OS somewhere.

Yum works just fine, it's just that CentOS doesn't have a package for
DBI, so you have to try and install from the tar.gz, and it won't work
for me. Yum will work fine if you can send me a rpm that works in the
CentOS world.

I'm not sure if you need this or not because I'm just getting into using DBI myself, but did you install the mysql drivers? In the README file, it mentioned that the Mysql DBD relied upon them. To quote:

This appears to fail the same way on my Ubuntu system after I installed
libdbi-ruby. Symptoms seem the same. I can go into mysql shell from
Bash, but I cannot use DBI and I get the same "Unable to load driver
'Mysql'" message. Perhaps people just don't use Mysql anymore?
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
# simple.rb - simple MySQL script using Ruby DBI module
require "dbi"
begin
# connect to the MySQL server
dbh = DBI.connect("DBI:Mysql:test:localhost", "testuser", "testpass")
# get server version string and display it
row = dbh.select_one("SELECT VERSION()")
puts "Server version: " + row[0]
rescue DBI::DatabaseError => e
puts "An error occurred"
puts "Error code: #{e.err}"
puts "Error message: #{e.errstr}"
ensure
# disconnect from server
dbh.disconnect if dbh
end
the failure is happening on the dbh = DBI.connect line.

I appear to have this working now, although I have not fully tested it.
What I did was install the "Mysql" ruby interface, which perhaps either
brought in the drivers correctly, or for all I know is used wholesale by
the DBI interface. Whatever. I'll start a new thread if I find problems.
Thank you for efforts to help in this matter. I was a little cranky

intentionally, and do appreciate efforts to help. I see no ultimate
instruction in English on the missing drivers.

I'm not sure if you need this or not because I'm just getting into using
DBI myself, but did you install the mysql drivers? In the README file,
it mentioned that the Mysql DBD relied upon them. To quote:
I cannot read that website, which I see as Japanese. Perhaps you could
translate. I have installed mysql-server and the shell command "mysql"
starts and works from Bash. As I said elsewhere:
the file is:
cksum dbi-0.1.1.tar.gz
3411302326 155533 dbi-0.1.1.tar.gz
I also just made sure libdbi-driver is installed by yum, among others,
and that has made no difference.
The implication may be that there is another driver thingy I need to
install, but if so, the instructions for doing so are spectacularly
unclear and not the kind of testimony that brings employers clamoring at
your door. I thought lots of people used Mysql in Rails, but perhaps
the world has moved on and Ruby Mysql DBI is so badly atrophied that it
is no longer maintained...?

Try this to use DBI with MySQL:
ruby setup.rb config --with=dbi,dbd_mysql

I just tried rebooting also, and that doesn't help.

That is in fact what I did, followed by:
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install
and my results were what I described already. I apparently need to
know
the driver I need to load, or perhaps the yum install sequence I
need to
use, or perhaps I just need to reboot. However, your suggestions
were
what I already did.

I tried installing with the old tarfile sequence using setup.rb,
as I
couldn't get gems to work and there is apparently no yum install on
CentOS. When I went through the sequence found on http://www.kitebird.com/articles/ruby-dbi.html#TOC_3, and then
tried the
simple.rb script, I got:
% ruby simple.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:344:in 'load_driver': Could not
load
driver (no such file to load -- mysql) (DBI::InterfaceError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:227:in
'_get_full_driver'
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:213:in 'connect'
from simple.rb:9
I presume I'm using old instructions or incomplete ones. Does
anyone
have a more recent set of instructions, or can someone fill in my
gap?
Sincerely, Xeno
