But if ruby is installed from binaries under Fedora Core 14 (rpm is available for Fedora14, the same ruby version, gems, the same remote mysql server) - everything is ok, no mysql error.

So, the question is: is it possible to compile ruby-1.8.7 from src (for old Linux release) without mysql error?
