Well you have got me the closest so far. I had to go back and manually=20
compile mysql-ruby with the --with-mysql-config flag because the gme did no=
t=20
fully install. I can now use require 'mysql' and get a true result. My new=
=20
problem deals with the way MySQL is installed on my windows box. I did not=
=20
install it as a server. I just installed it locally. I use the -h . flag to=
=20
connect to my MySQL installation. It is not an option to install it as a=20
server. So I am now currently unable to connect to mysql with the mysql=20
module because it will not accept "localhost" as teh server string and it=
=20
will not accept "." as the server string like everything else does. Any new=
=20
ideas?

Thanks:)
