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.
   Matt
