Having trouble with ruby-mysql

ruby-talk

Hi list

I’m running ruby-1.8.1-i386-mswin32 on winxp.
Works good, but I would like mysql support to work too…
I am trying with mysql-ruby-2.4.2-1-winpkg but it says it need
mswin32-ruby16.dll and i cant find it anywhere
Anyone know where i can get it?

TIA
/Martin

In my C:\Ruby\bin there is a file called msvcrt-ruby18.dll
I would assume that’s the file you’d need. It’ll have a different name
on your system if you use Ruby 1.6

No, those DLLs have different names because they’re different files :wink:

It sounds like the precompiled version of ruby-mysql that Martin has was
compiled against Ruby 1.6, and he will need to find someone who has
compiled it against Ruby 1.8.1 instead.

ok, thanks
then I am looking for someone who has done that :wink:
or, i will try to do it myself too, but i have absolutely no experience
of compiling anything on windows :S
