Hi there!

  Does anyone knows if the MySQL-Ruby module is compatible with MySQL 4.1?

Thanks

I use the package found at
http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/
and it works well for me: mysql 4.1.12,
Windows XP Pro SP2, Cygwin 1.5.16.

Problems you may have:
this library requires linking with one compiled mysql client library,
which is a non-trivial task on windows, but doable if
you have some c/make programming experience.

MySQL changed the authentification from 4.0.* to 4.1. You can see that
directly, if you look at the table 'user' in database 'mysql' -> the encrypted
passwords are much longer.

Maybe
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html
can help you.
i had the same problem with my php-installation. so i think the problem is not
mysql-ruby itself. I use it together with dbi for mysql versions 4.1.10, 4.1.0
4.1.11, 4.0.20, 4.0.13, 5.0.04

work perfectly

I will try with this.... I will also set the MySQL engine to work with old style accounts... Once I test it I will post with the results.

Thanks to everyone!

I just did this, and wrote it up here
http://www.joeygibson.com/blog/tech/ruby/RubyMySQL.html I built with
MySQL 4.1.11, WindowsXP, VC6 and the one-click installer version of Ruby
1.8.2.

the package found at
http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/ mentioned in an earlier post
and a mysql patch in activerecord works against 4.1 with ruby1.6.8 &
1.8.2 for me.
