I really thought I'd be through at this point ... but

Thanks to several of you here (and I *REALLY* appreciate the help), I 
*FINALLY* managed to get the mysql gem installed. When I ran gem 
install, it gave me several options, I chose (2) which was for the mysql 
2.7 (ruby) gem (I'm running Ubuntu linux). gem reported that the package 
was successfully installed.

When I run ruby, and have the statement
   require 'mysql'

ruby gives me the error
   :in `require': no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)

What am I missing. At this point, I thought I'd done everything right.

thanks again
---Michael
