Naif question: ruby and mysql

ruby-talk
1

I have the need to get information from a MySQL database and I’d like to
use Ruby.

My problem is that the database is not on the same machine as the Ruby
client and I am not able to install the MySQL libraries that the RAA
interface seem to require.

Is there a pure-Ruby socket interface to MySQL?
Or is my understanding way off?

Thanks,

-mark.

I am wondering why you are not able to do that?
If you are on unix, you should be able to install the mysql stuff in
your homedir.

I doubt it.
