Problem installing gem mysql on vista

Rails
1

Hi, I’m hoping that someone can point me right direction on this one.

I’m trying execute gem install mysql & am getting the following error
message.

C:\Users\matt>gem install mysql
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-mswin32)

  1. mysql 2.7.3 (mswin32)
  2. mysql 2.7.1 (mswin32)
  3. mysql 2.7 (ruby)
  4. mysql 2.6 (ruby)
  5. Skip this gem
  6. Cancel installation

(continuing with the rest of the installation)

It looks like it installs the gem, but has problems with Rdoc. When I
try & execute rake, I get the following error:

C:\app\trunk>rake

rake aborted!

rgds,
