In case you missed that, there's some problem with your ruby library ..
I wouldn't know why, I just had to install ruby via rvm on another
system, worked flawlessly.

Problem with p334 maybe? I mean I just did "rvm install 1.8.7", it gave
me p357. Further installing mysql2 looked like this:

$ gem install mysql2
