Subject: Installing Rails:  MySQL issue?

Hello,

I am installing Rails, with MySQL, based on the steps found at:

http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/ror/Vista/saurabh_bhatia10202009.html

The step for MySQL

"Now that we have the Rails framework installed on our system, we need a
database connector, in order to connect our Rails framework to the MySQL
database installed.

C:\> gem install mysql

Running the above command does the trick most of the time. However we
need to take care that MySQL gem gives various problems related to the
installation path. In order to resolve that, we can compile it with
various options manually defined."

Well, maybe I am having the aforementioned problem with the installation
path...when I enter "gem install mysql" (with MySQL 5.1 already
installed and tested), I get a heap of "No definition for XYZ" messages.
The page recommends compiling it manually, but does not give any
indication on how to do this :).

Is there any way to run this manually, or to confirm whether the
database connector is functional?
