The page you referenced above says "MySQL (dbd_mysql) depend on the "MySQL Ruby Module" by TOMITA Masahiro or available from the RAA." I doesn't appear that it can be downloaded from that URL and I can't find anything in the RAA that claims to be a DBD from MySQL. Can someone tell me the name of the thing I should looking for? Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like setting up Ruby to work with MySQL is very well documented. > -----Original Message----- > From: R.
