Windows Vista and “gem install mysql”
January 24th, 2009
I just got this message with Rails 2.2.2 and a MySQL 5.0.x DB on Windows Vista as i tried to rake db:create
The specified module could not be found. - c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7.3-x86-mswin32/ext/mysql.so
After penetrating google for some time i found a solution that was working for me. All you have to do is to copy your libmySQL.dll from your MySQL bin directory to your ruby bin directory.
