Subject: Can't get dbi to work?

I'm using WindowsXP, I've downloaded ruby-dbi-all-0.0.23.tar.gz, and 
typed the following commands:

ruby setup.rb config --with=dbi,dbd_mysql, dbd_odbc
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

During the install phrase, I get the following error:

entering install phase...
mkdir -p e:/ruby/bin
install sqlsh.rb e:/ruby/bin
install failed
Permission denied - e:/ruby/bin/sqlsh.rb
try "ruby setup.rb --help" for usage

Since that didn't work, I deleted the dbi directories from e:\ruby\bin, 
and copied the "dbi" and "dbd_mysql" dir to the folder I'm currently 
creating my project in. In that folder I ran this file:

require 'dbi'

dbh = DBI.connect('DBI:Mysql:xxxxx', 'xxxxx', 'xxxxx')

And got this error:

../dbi/dbi.rb:499:in `load_driver':  is not a class/module (TypeError)
         from ./dbi/dbi.rb:401:in `_get_full_driver'
         from ./dbi/dbi.rb:381:in `connect'
         from import.rb:3

Can someone please explain this to me, why it isn't work, and how I can 
fix it? I can't get any further till I can at least connect to the MySQL 
db I created.

Thanks

Robo
