does mysql support work in command line+?

if yes- perhaps the user under which apache runs does not have
access to certain library directories-

either find a way to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this user-

or you can compile mysql-ruby with the linker option '-rpath' which will
hardcode the path of the lib--
   (just add '-Wl,-rpath <mysql-path>' to DLDFLAGS--)
