[Rails] Ruby question

According to the site http://www.kitebird.com/articles/ruby-mysql.html

"To use the Ruby MySQL module, first make sure that you have the MySQL C
client API header files and libraries installed."

Can anyone point me to where I can get the 'C' library and header files

They come with mysql. If you installed it from source, you should have them.
If you installed them from some package manager, then you need to make sure
you have the stuff like mysql-devel or mysql-libs installed.

I installed MySQL 4.1.14 on Windows XP and the libraries were not
included. I searched the MySQL website but couldn't find where to
download the client libraries other than the ODBC interface but it does
not contain the libs needed by Ruby MySQL. Does anyone know where to
obtain the libraries?

Thanks,

I used gem to install MySQL Ruby. However, the install fails because
it is dependent on the MySQL libraries which were not included when I
installed MySQL. It is looking for mysqlclient.lib but that was not
part of the MySQL install. mysqlclient.lib was included in earlier
versions of the MySQL download.

What platform?
