Some version info just in case: > C:\Users\j\Sites\simple_cms>ruby -v > ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16) [i386-mingw32] > > C:\Users\j\Sites\simple_cms>mysql --version > > mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.21, for Win64 (x86) > > I've already searched the web looking for solutions, but none of them > seem to work.

Please read this: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/ You can skip the steps that involve installing MySQL itself, but not the ones about using MySQL Connector/C (32bits) and link mysql gem to it. It is recommended that once you compile the gem, copy the libmysql.dll provided inside MySQL Connector/C to your Ruby bin directory and ensure Ruby bin directory is *before* MySQL one in the PATH (you can check that with "SET PATH" from the console) Also, once you do this, ensure you're pointing to the right version in your Gemfile, or bundler will complain and ask you to bundle install, which you should avoid. Always install gems outside bundler when you need to provide additional compilation flags, the do "bundle check" to ensure it picks the manually installed gem. Also, remove the previous installed version. Hope that helps. -- Luis Lavena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
