Hi,

On Trying, "  gem install mysql " , i get the following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop>gem install mysql
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing mysql:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

D:/Softwares/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
checking for main() in libmysql.lib... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for mo
details.

Thanks
