Subject: ruby-mysql install woes

OS X 10.4.10
ruby 1.8.4 (ruby installed using http://rubyosx.rubyforge.org/)

Trying to install riuby-mysql 2.7.4

Every blog & refc I can find doesn't work.

Using gem fails. Tried all the suggestions found on blogs.

Using the native package from tmtm.org fails, but I get further with it.

One tip I picked up which helps the native install to get further along
was to add "#define ulong unsigned long" at the top of the mysql.c file
(which does not exist with the gem install).

after I make install I get this response
/usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 mysql.bundle
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0

then I try to do a simple two liner just to see if I get complaints

#! /usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'mysql'

and indeed I get this complaint:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/mysql.bundle:
Failed to load
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/universal-darwin8.0/mysql.bundle
(LoadError)

I'm no C geek, so I have no idea what to try next.

Ideas?
