Okay, so I've attempted to update/replace the mysql adapter and run into a different problem that I can't find a documented solution for. (this is perhaps getting a bit off topic from the original post, but...) :) My mysql install isn't in the standard places gem seems to want to look -- it's installed by fink which puts everything into /sw. How can I tell gem how to resolve -lmysqlclient? After reading through the --help and rubygems web site command reference I don't see a way to specify -L directories to the gem installer. Thanks for all your help so far, Rob. I really appreciate it.
