MySQL changed the authentification from 4.0.* to 4.1. You can see that
directly, if you look at the table 'user' in database 'mysql' -> the encrypted
passwords are much longer.

Maybe
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html
can help you.
i had the same problem with my php-installation. so i think the problem is not
mysql-ruby itself. I use it together with dbi for mysql versions 4.1.10, 4.1.0
4.1.11, 4.0.20, 4.0.13, 5.0.04

work perfectly
