I wanted to try and play with XP tonight with MySQL to show it to

This fails:
gem install mysql

mysql in XP? I've found similar errors online... but no solutions to
this problem.
You'll probably need to install a mysql driver from source using a
package that either includes the windows libs it needs (you might try
this one: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/mysql-ruby-win/) or use a
native ruby driver. I haven't done this in a while (pretty much don't
leave linux-land these days, if I can help it), but I know it works. I
just got a new laptop from work that still has XP on it, though, so I
might have to give it a shot later to refresh my memory.
