Ruby
1

I’m havng trouble using mysql in my example.

i alreeady did the gem install and copied the “libmysql.dll” over to bin
but still got this:

irb(main):005:0> require ‘mysql’
LoadError: cannot load such file – mysql/mysql_api
from
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:i
n require' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:i nrequire’
from
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.9.0-x86-mingw32/lib/mys

from

from (irb):5
from C:/Ruby193/bin/irb:12:in `’

any ideas?

Did you find a solution?

I did not know on Windows you had to copy the .dll to bin yourself. That
seems odd.

Look into mysql2, it’s a C based library.

It should make things faster, and I haven’t experienced a good portion
of
the snafus with mysql2. It takes a bit of work to get it up past a gem
install, but it’s worth it.

Also worth a look: Sequel.
