Hi,  
I am using rails 2.2. I am getting an error during migration.  
Whenever I am running “rake db:migrate”, I am getting an error

"(in E:/Rails2.2/rails\_demo)  
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please  
install  
the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.  
rake aborted!

E:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems  
/mysql-2.7.3-x86-mswin32/ext/mysql.so  
"  
I installed mysql gem by using “gem install mysql”.  
My gem list is ::
