Subject: Problems using the Mysql gem

Hi,

I'm using the mysql (2.8.1 x86-mingw32) gem and MySQL Server version
5.0.90 on Windows 7, 64 bit. I'm also using ruby 1.8.7.

When I run the following script (replacing user name and password
appropriately)

require "rubygems"
require "mysql"
dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "user", "pass", "test")
puts "Server version: " + dbh.get_server_info
dbh.close

I get the following error message:

./test.rb:3: uninitialized constant Mysql (NameError)
from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in
`gem_original_require'
from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in
`require'
from mysql.rb:2
>Exit code: 1

Can anyone give me a pointer as to what is going wrong?
I have tried googling the error message, but with no luck.
I have also read the documentation installed with the gem and as far as
I can tell I am using the correct syntax.

Thanks in advance.
