I’m posting this as an FYI – for other people who might encounter the  
same problem – I couldn’t find any clear instructions on how to resolve  
it.

I upgraded from mysql 4.1 to 5.0, at which point 2 different errors  
occured:

error while trying to create table customers; Could not load driver  
(libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or  
directory - /usr/lib64/site\_ruby/1.8/x86\_64-linux/mysql.so)

and:  
Errno::ENOENT in SearchController#search

No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

the solution was to install the latest ruby code – in my case (fedora)

yum upgrade ruby\*

did the trick.
