Hi all,
problem solved!
this is just to say what i did and found in this instance to fix the
problems...
after posting to the oracle ruby mysql forum and not seeing any
replies (2 days later)
I posted to the ruby forums.
got some replies but I solved this myself after being told to go to a
URL (of older mysql 5.1 versions) and extract out of an older version
of mysql 5.1 the libmysql.dll file and see if that fixes my issues.
I DID HAVE a late copy of mysql server loaded and it did have a copy
in the bin directory a libmysql.dll file.
after renaming that file and copying another that i'd been pointed to
by GARY further up the postings here everything JUST WORKED!!
My guess is that when i ran my program Sequel went looking for
libmysql.dll found it in c:\program files\mysql\mysql5.1...\bin and
used that and NOT from c:\ruby187\lib as i expected it to do.
SO I deleted mysql server off to get back disk space move the
mysql.dll from \lib as i had read in other postings and put it into
\bin of the ruby187 directory and I'm in business with Sequel again.
I did try running it and got my origingal error - can't find
libmysql.dll error popup before moving the file.
HTH any one else who my come across such a problem with Sequel and
mysql when moving from Linux/Mac to windows and don't want to install
mysql server onto the windows box as I'm only going to be connecting
to ....
1. a remote server over the internet
2. a server sitting somewhere on the local lan
thanks for all you're help.
dave.
