When I try to 'gem install mysql' I get the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

require 'mysql' doesn't work ("no such file to load - mysql")

How can I make this work ?

Thanks.

I tried 'gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri' and I get:

but "require 'mysql'" still doesn't work.

Try the following:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql'
