The original user having problems with MySQL was running on Windows.

The MySQL/Ruby binary bindings were built against 5.0.x of MySQL, thus
is going to fail when executed against 5.1.x version of MySQL.

This has been documented in the release notes of the gem:

And also several times in this mailing list.
