I have the same problem. At the first time I used libmysql.dll file from
my XAMPP directory but the problem still appears. Then I replace the
file from the one from your link and it works flawlessly.

This is my second day I’m trying installed Rails and this post just made
me realize how lucky I am.

Thanks you very much.

Update to the post:
Since the error says “cannot find mysql client”, follow these…

  • download older MySQL client library, for example one from
    InstantRails: http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/t … bmySQL.dll

  • copy the downloaded file to C:\Ruby\bin (or wherever you installed
    Ruby)

  • restart MySQL server
