Subject: Re: mysql -- cannot connect (can in Perl)

I think the Perl script that is run on the same Windows machine as the 
Ruby script is proof that connections to the MySQL server (on "plug") 
can be had and that all the variables, e.g. "hostname", "port", "user", 
and "password" and working.  For the hostname column in the "user" table 
in Mysql associated with the account "rubyscript", I have the wildcard 
"%", just in case a connection through Ruby has something different than 
a connection from Perl.

Here's a punt.  Could you share the directory path, relative to your 
RUBY home, where any of the following files from the mysql "lib" 
directory may exist:

 libmysql.dll
 libmysql.lib
 mysqlclient.lib

Perhaps this can be finessed by simply placing those files somewhere 
where Ruby might look for them?
