Honestly, I don't know. Where is it supposed to be? I did a find /usr/lib -name 'libmysqlclient*' -print but no file matching this name was found. I have installed Ruby via the Cygwin setup program. I have installed MySql for Windows, and running it as a service. Finally, I have installed the Ruby mysql module via gem install -r mysql assuming that "this would do the right thing" anyway. > Have you checked the library > dependencies of mysql.so? I tried to do a ldd mysql.so but ldd was not found on my installation. In which Cygwin package is ldd supposed to be? > If you don't have the libraries > that this DLL > requires it will fail to load. > > Also, it's very suspicious that you'd be using what looks like a > native-compiled module (i.e. MSVCRT) in a Cygwin binary. > That's usually > a recipe for failure. Could well be. I think mysql uses somewhere below a native (C-) interface to Mysql. If *this* is the reason for the problem, I will have to find a different way to access Mysql.
