Subject: gem install mysql

I'm having some problems installing the MySQL Ruby gem here on Cygwin.
Anybody know what's up?

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 papaia 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

$ gem install mysql

I guess this is a bit pathetic:

$ gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config="/cygdrive/c/Program
