Hello, I try to install Mysql/ruby on Windows 2000, but the  
[http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/](http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/) page says 1. ruby extconf.rb (ok)  
2. make (??? there is no make in windows → unknown command).  
Somebody can help me ? Thanks in advance

The easiest way is to place a copy of mysql.so into the ruby library. I  
can email you a copy if you like. I’ve been using it without  
any trouble for a year.
