I have followed the HOWTO, but still no luck. Some details: I didn't build
mysql, I just installed the binary (3.23.41). It seems to be working fine. I
built mysql-ruby-2.4 (below is my extconf.rb). I didn't apply the mysql.c patch
b/c it appears to already have been patched -- ie., that line is already in
mysql.c. When I run the mysql test, I get the "dlopen: Win32 error 1157" that
Horst mentioned. I also tried using Michael's precompiled binary, in which case
I got:  Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
(MysqlError)

If we can get this sorted out, I'll be happy to contribute more instructions for
the HOWTO...

thanks!
