I get this: checking -- Class ./Desktop/test.rb:5:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments (4 for 0) (ArgumentError) from ./Desktop/test.rb:5:in `new' from ./Desktop/test.rb:5 I don't think this is a script problem, but everything seems to check out with the MySQL, and the other gems. See why I'm tearing my hair out? Thank you again for the reply. Best, Micah -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
