First - is there a section on this forum or another forum for Newbies.
I don’t want to interfere with the pros.

I’m trying to load and run the depot_v sample cod from the Rapid book.

Here is my console:

When I try to run Rails, I get:

It is failing to compile mysql2 gem due missing headers and libraries.

Please take a look to this blog posts:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/

Which describes the installation instructions for MySQL and mysql gem on
Windows.

You can install mysql2 gem following the same instructions, jsut change
the occurrences of mysql for mysql2.

The only part that will not work is the test example.

Note: it assumes you have RubyInstaller and the DevKit installed, if not
and you don’t want to deal with the installation instructions, please
use RailsInstaller instead:

Hope that helps,
