  judging from the error it looks like mysql was not installed 
properly...  maybe you're missing dependencies?  try:

"gem install -r mysql"

  ...which should also install any dependencies you are missing.

> #my = Mysql.new(hostname, username, password, databasename)

  ...once you get mysql installed properly, i imagine you'll want to 
change this line.  the pound sign ("#") makes it a comment, and 
therefore the variable "my" is never defined, it should probably look 
like this:

  my = Mysql.new(hostname, username, password, databasename)

  ...you'll also have to define all of those variables (hostname, 
username, password, databasename,) otherwise it's going nowhere!


  good luck,
