I've been using MySQL 4.1 on Windows with Ruby for about a month or so now. The only issue I had was the change in the way MySQL does password hashing (which can be corrected by telling MySQL to use the older password hashing format). I don't recall where I got my MySQL-Ruby libs; for some reason I had thought they were included as part of the 1-Click installer, but I gather that's not so. Aside from various mysql libs included as part of other applications (Og, Rails, etc.) I believe the only core lib I use is from TOMITA Masahiro. It's installed in c:\ruby\lib\1.8 and is a pure-Ruby lib. I believe it came from http://www.tmtm.org/en/ruby/mysql/README_en.html I'm guessing I followed the instructions on that page, though looking at the content of the tarball there seems to be little for the installer to do; it basically it just copies the file mysql.rb to the root of your Ruby lib dir, something you could do by hand.
