I’m running through the Depot tutorial on Agile Development w/ Rails (2nd Edition). I’ve created a DB and connect to it (and create dummy tables) via terminal with no problem. Everything is cool up until page 72 where I’m asked to run a Rake migration from the command line: rake db:migrate returns: rake aborted! Please install the msql adapter: `gem install activerecord-msql- adapter` (no such file to load – active\_record/connection\_adapters/ msql\_adapter) If I take the suggestion and type: gem install activerecord-msql-adapter returns: ERROR: could not find activerecord-msql-adapter locally or in a repository Running the migration with --trace returns: (in /Users/chad/src/ruby/depot) \*\* Invoke db:migrate (first\_time) \*\* Invoke environment (first\_time) \*\* Execute environment rake aborted!
