I had the exact same problem. My guess is that you are either missing some
MySQL-DBI code or the permissions on the files are incorrect.

Unfortunately, I did not know how to fix the problem by hand. So I deleted
MySQL as installed by Mandrake (my Linux distribution at home) and
re-installed MySQL from a download I found at mysql.com.

Then I installed the Ruby-DBI package
(Download ruby-dbi-all-0.0.21.tar.gz (Ruby DBI)
load) and everything started working.

Several years ago this would have been called the ‘hammer and tongs’ method,
but it worked for me.

Subject:

 I am trying to connect to a mysql database with ruby and

showing the data in text boxes using Tk. But the following error
is coming. Is there any problem with the dbi itself or the problem
lies in the code? If you want then I can send the codes, just two
pages. Please help me as soon as possible.

Thanks,
