It was the libmysql.dll file, when you d/l the mysql 2.9.0 it said:

  You've installed the binary version of mysql.
  It was built using MySQL Connector/C version 6.0.2.
  It's recommended to use the exact same version to avoid potential 
issues.

  At the time of building this gem, the necessary DLL files where 
available
  in the following URL:

  http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip/from/pi
ck

  You can put the lib\libmysql.dll available in this package to your 
Ruby bin directory.
  E.g. C:\Ruby\bin

Go to website unzip and place the libmysql.dll file in your ruby/bin 
folder. thanks for all the help
