I have Ruby version 1.8.4 on XP SP 2. I installed Mysql Server 5.0.2 - this worked fine. I then tried some code like require "mysql" That code failed, I searched and found I have to run extconf.rb My question is, according to http://www.tmtm.org/en/mysql/ruby/ I need to add a path to the end of extconf.rb, such as ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql I have ruby installed at c:\ruby And mysql installed at c:\program files\mysql What will be the path? Totally lost here, Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
