Well you have got me the closest so far. I had to go back and manually
compile mysql-ruby with the --with-mysql-config flag because the gme did
not
...
Have you tried using MyODBC with Ruby-DBI via the ODBC DBD? It was mentioned
in another thread. I think you'd have to add an ODBC data source as an extra
step (rather than just specifying the host/user/database), but it should
work on Windows without having to compile anything against particular
versions, which seems to be where these things tend to fall over.
This does not work since my version of mysql is not iinstalled as a server.
Thanks:)

Sean,
Let me get this straight. The problem is when you installed MySQL for
Windows from the .msi installer, you didn't install the server. (So in
the wizard setp with all the white hard-drive icons, you selected th
install the client programs and possibly the development files. Not
the "MySQL Server") You needed to select the "Server" to get a running
MySQL installation. When you say "that is not an option", why? (Did
the installer not ask you or did you not want to because of
security/other reasons?) If you did indeed select to install the
server, a Database Cluster Initialization Wizard should have popped up
sometime during the install. Oh, and Linus is right in that "mysql -h"
doesn't accept localhost, use 127.0.0.1 instead. Once the server is
installed, "net start mysql" to make sure it is running. You're
getting really close, so hang on!
