This time *I* need a bit of help ;-) I've spent a long time searching on Google, but still not solved my problem. I thought someone here might have encountered the problem.
As those of you who also read my blog will know, I had a hard drive failure early this week, and have been struggling to reconstruct everything [1]. MySQL was one thing which didn't survive the Migration Assistant, so I decided to reinstall, using the binary packages available from the MySQL site. That went fine, and it runs, I can create databases and so on. mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.27 I also followed Dan Benjamin's instructions [2] for building the native MySQL gem properly. That also worked (as far as I can tell): $ gem list mysql *** LOCAL GEMS *** mysql (2.7) MySQL/Ruby provides the same functions for Ruby programs that the MySQL C API provides for C programs. The problem is that Rails is just not loading MySQL when it runs. Here's the output from script/console, for example, but I get a similar error plus a 500 when I try to load Tracks: $ script/console Loading development environment. ./script/../config/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:7:in `define_all_hashes_method!':RuntimeError: Mysql not loaded Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix it? I was hoping to get some development done this weekend, and this is seriously cramping my style!
