I have been trying to build mysql-ruby-2.3.2a under cygwin on win98SE. I did
finally get it to build, but when I run test.rb, I get the error: dlopen: Win32
error 1157 ... (LoadError), suggesting a DLL problem (?). To get it to build, I
had to do a couple of things that I don't fully understand including: setting of
$LDFLAGS and $libs in extconf.rb and having to go into mysql.c and add full
paths for mysql.h and errmsg.h.

Any help would be much appreciated...

Phil
