That's unusual, since rails works fine with the pure-ruby mysql driver. 
However, if you're looking to use mysql directly, perhaps you should 
look into using JDBC instead? I'm sure we can find a good example if 
you're interesed in that. JDBC provides a uniform interface to basically 
any database.
