Minor issue with mysql/ruby - major headache

i hope its minor,

i’m running lighty1.4x ruby 1.8x mysql 5.0.1x and i can see my rails app
on 127.0.0.1:3000 but if i try run a app with database connection
(scaffold) i get this error
NameError in Message#index

uninitialized constant Mysql

RAILS_ROOT: ./config/…

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:195:in
const_missing' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:35:in mysql_connection’
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:145:in
`send’
if i run the same app with webrick it works. i have a feeling it is the
mysql_ruby GEM which i haven’t got working in sync with ruby. I followed
the instruction on http://www.jjleonard.co.uk/?p=102 "copy mysql.rb to
the ruby install directory, typically c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8" i
downloaded this version ruby-mysql-0.2.6.tar.gz. is there anything else
i need to do?

thanks for anyone who can offer any advice

I’ve ran into a situtation in Windows where the MySQL lib was not being
found when the path to the MySQL dlls was the last item in the systems
PATH variable and did not end with a semicolon. The fix for me was
simply to add that semicolon.
