Sean,I'm going to try to explain *exactly* what I did, and hopefully you'llsee something you forgot to do.1. Download mysql-essential-4.1.14-win32.msi from mysql.org and install it.2. Download mysql-4.1.13.tar.gz from mysql.org3. Extract the above, and run "./configure -C --without-server" (the-C enables config caching, I use it because the ./configure scriptruns very slowly under Cygwin. Optional, of course)4. Run "make && make install"5. Run "gem install mysql"6. Go make cool rails apps!
