Subject: Installing MySQL Module on Windows?

All, I'm having a very tuff time getting this mysql module working on
XP. All searches yeild how to's that were last updated in 2003, or
linux only environments.

Anyone here know an exact method of getting this working?

(note, I've tried non 2.7-beta2 versions of this module and other
versions of mysql to no avail)

C:\mysql-ruby-2.7-beta2>extconf.rb
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in m.lib... yes
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in z.lib... no
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in socket.lib... no
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in nsl.lib... no
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no

C:\mysql-ruby-2.7-beta2>extconf.rb --with-mysql-dir=c:/mysql
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in m.lib... yes
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no

checking for main() in socket.lib... no
checking for mysql_query() in mysqlclient.lib... no
checking for main() in nsl.lib... no

C:\mysql-ruby-2.7-beta2>mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.13a, for Win32 (ia32)
