Subject: building readline on Tiger

Hi everyone,

this is the first time I've posted to this group. And I am a ruby and 
programming newbie. (To give you an idea of my skills I am reading 
Chris Pine's book right now, I'll move to the PickAxe later).
I have installed ruby and rails following Hivelogic's guide at 
http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger.

I 

seem to have a working ruby / rails install. I have tried Apple's 
tutorial's at http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html and 
some basic ruby programs.
When I type: require 'readline' irb gives a false response. When I do 
the same with 'mysql' it tells me the file doesn't exist.

Building readline seemed to have gone right. Could someone explain to 
me what irb's answers mean?

Config:
Tiger 10.4.7 PowerPC
MySQL 5 32 bits
XCode 2.4
