Subject: Re: install mysql-ruby on RHEL

Good call, Logan.

[richard@www richard]$ rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0
mysql-devel-3.23.58-16.RHEL3.1
php-mysql-4.3.2-26.ent
MySQL-server-4.0.25-0
MySQL-client-4.0.25-0

I guess I'll grab the mysql-devel-4.0.25 (if there is such and try to  
install it).  Although I'm not sure why mysql_config isn't there.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!
R
