Subject: Problem in accessing MySQL

Hi,
I'm new to ruby and facing the following problem in connecting to MySQL
from my script.

Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
   #~ # simple.rb - simple MySQL script using Ruby DBI module
  gem "mysql"
gem "dbi"
require "dbi"
#~ gem 'dbd-mysql'
   begin
     # connect to the MySQL server
     dbh=DBI.connect("DBI:Mysql:<db-name>:<remote-Host>", "user",
"password")

     # get server version string and display it
     row = dbh.select_one("SELECT VERSION()")
     puts "Server version: " + row[0]
   rescue DBI::DatabaseError => e
     puts "An error occurred"
     puts "Error code: #{e.err}"
     puts "Error message: #{e.errstr}"
   ensure
     # disconnect from server
     dbh.disconnect if dbh
   end


Here is the error:
>ruby simple.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/dbi-0.4.1/lib/dbi.rb:294:in
