Subject: MySQL gem problem on OS X

Help.
On OS X 10.4.9

When trying to run a simple file starting with:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql'

...

I get this:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)
         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ 
custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
         from mysql_ruby.rb:3


But when I do a local:
gem list my

I do get this:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

mysql (2.7)
     MySQL/Ruby provides the same functions for Ruby programs that the
     MySQL C API provides for C programs.


So I know it is there. Other gems seem fine. irb also says there is  
no mysql gem.
MySQL is installed and running. With Rails it works.
What I am doing is not Rails, but is Ruby.
Can anybody help out?
