Ruby interpreter error on Windows Vista

ruby-talk
1

Hi there everyone,

I have had a stable dev environment for some time now, well until my laptop was stolen :frowning: I am in the process of getting everything set-up again but I am facing a problem with the Ruby interpreter. I am using 1.8.6 patch level 111, I switched back from MySQL 5.1 to a 5.0 version, I have the MySQL gem 2.8.1 installed with Rails 2.3.4. When running any Rails app, have so far just used it with Mongrel as the server, I get the following error:

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.4/lib/active_support/multibyte/chars.rb:158: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i386-mswin32]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Any ideas on how I can go about resolving this? I am in the process of getting VirualBox so I can run Ubuntu in there and use it for all my Ruby/Rails development but, I would love to have this issue on Windows resolved in the mean time.

Thank you,
Schalk

If you're getting segmentation faults, seems to me your MySQL 5.1
installation still interferes with MySQL gem 2.8.1

Please verify that "libmysql.dll" that is available in your PATH is
for MySQL 5.0, not 5.1

Hi Luis,

I completely removed MySQL 5.1, reconfigured the 5.0 instance and the copied the libmysql.dll to ruby/bin and everything is working! Thanks!
