Subject: "gem install mysql" on Windows

I've installed using the PP one-click installer 1.8.2-14 final version
and Ruby itself is running fine.

However, when the "gem install" gets to the build of the native
extension, it fails.

From the log file, it seems to be looking for a library file called
mysqlclient.lib which does not appear anywhere on my system that I can
find, either under the MySQL directory or the normal Windows system
directories.

Can anyone point me at a URL that might help getting ruby-mysql
installed under Windows XP?  I've done a little Google-ing, but not
turned up anything useful.

Sadly, this is work stuff and if I can't make Ruby talk to MySQL in a
reasonable amount of time, I'm going to have to give up and write stuff
in Java ... Oh the pain :-( !!

Thanks in advance,

Harry O.

PS - Yes, I know I'll save more time than I'll spend sorting it out, but
try convincing someone else of that :-).
