The problem lies in the incompatibility of the mysql gem (binary 
version) and the installed MySQL.

When you do "gem install mysql" it prints out some notes about this.

To solve this, please follow the instructions on this blog post:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/

You can skip the MySQL installation steps as you already installed it.

You need RubyInstaller's DevKit installed. All the links are provided in 
the blog post.
