They will work if you have DevKit installed. You'll need DevKit to
install gems that require building C extensions.

The mysql gem isn't maintained anymore, AFAIK. If that matters to you,
you might want to try the mysql2 gem. There is also a gem called
ruby-mysql by the author of the mysql gem, written in 100% Ruby, so it
doesn't need compilation.
