Hi Brian,

Thanks for the response.

No, I only have the ruby gem 'mysql.rb' with that name.

Hi Hassan,

Thanks for bearing with me on this.

No OS upgrade, haven't switched, not using the version manager (should I
be?).

I changed line 11 to borderDB = Mysql.real_connect('localhost', 'root',
'root', 'my_database')

and now I get the following error:
./Desktop/gen_encpolygons.rb:11:in `generate_js_border_overlay':
undefined method `real_connect' for Mysql:Class (NoMethodError)
  from ./Desktop/gen_encpolygons.rb:95

Yes, mysql.new failed.

So, I think I am going to uninstall the gem, and reinstall it. Would it
be better to use the 'pure ruby' gem? What would you guys recommend?

Best,
Micah
