Where do I find the latest version of Ruby-mysql API  
on Windows which will interface with MYSQL 5.1.

I do not have a MS C complier, thus I am looking for the compiled  
version.

Thank you for your help.  
John

gem install mysql  
Now that will probably be v 2.7.4, and the latest is v 2.8, but at least  
for that one you don’t need a compiler.
