I've recently faced the same problem. What I understood from the pages I visited from google was that the rails 2.3.3 which I had installed on my windows xp machine didn't work properly with the mysql driver (libmysql.dll). I had to download a different version and add it in c:\ruby\bin I will be able to get more information in some 3 more hours when I will be in office where I experienced this error
