Installed sequel gem okay but mysql throws up this error when i try to  
install.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ruby\_test\rub  
y\_test\>igem install mysql  
Building native extensions. This could take a while…  
ERROR: Error installing mysql:

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Program Files/IronRuby

Note I do have the MYSQL .net 6.3.6 connector installed but don’t know  
how to access this via ruby code - anyone able to give me a connector  
code snippet? showing the connection, table and control linkage code?

any help ?
