So, install Ruby and gem and then read the wiki post about getting MySQL  
working and installed that mysql.so into the right dirs, and actually  
everything works fine. Except that it’s unstable - after maybe 4 or 5  
queries, Webrick will crash with a segmentation fault in basically a  
random module - never the same spot.

Anyone got any suggestions? Is it just the mysql.so - does it need to be  
compiled on this machine maybe?

Thanks.

Yes it is known issue with old mysql.so module with latest versions of  
MySQL.

Try mysql.so that I have compiled for mysql 5.0.15

Thanks man. Worked like a charm! This should be added to a FAQ somewhere  
and linked for us newbies.

Thanks again.
