hi all, i've got ruby 1.6.5 working well on redhat 7.2 and now i'd like to add mysql support... everything seems to work fine...it makes perfectly, but when i run test.rb i get the following error [jack@Zeus mysql-ruby-2.4.1]$ ruby -I. ./test.rb localhost root password connect............../t/00connect.rb:1:in `connect': Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) (MysqlError) from ./t/00connect.rb:1 from ./test.rb:23:in `load' from ./test.rb:23 from ./test.rb:19:in `each' from ./test.rb:19 mysql normally creates its sockets in /tmp so i can see how looking in /var/lib... would be a problem...is there some way i can tell ruby to look elsewhere, or perhaps recompile with a different option? any help would be much appreciated.... thanks! jack dempsey
