Hello guys,

I am new to Ruby. I have been working with the core language so far
without problems. Now I am starting to use mysql.

I have installed it with gem install mysql, and it work perfectly. If I
run gem list, I get the following:

sh-3.2# gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.1.0, 1.3.6)
actionpack (2.1.0, 1.13.6)
actionwebservice (1.2.6)

activeresource (2.1.0)
activesupport (2.1.0, 1.4.4)
acts_as_ferret (0.4.3, 0.4.1)
capistrano (2.3.0, 2.0.0)

dnssd (0.6.0)
fastthread (1.0.1, 1.0)

mysql (2.7)
needle (1.3.0)
net-scp (1.0.1)
net-sftp (2.0.1, 1.1.0)
net-ssh (2.0.2, 1.1.2)
net-ssh-gateway (1.0.0)
rails (2.1.0, 1.2.6)
rake (0.8.1, 0.7.3)
RedCloth (3.0.4)
ruby-openid (2.0.4, 1.1.4)
ruby-yadis (0.3.4)
rubygems-update (1.1.1)
rubynode (0.1.5, 0.1.3)
sqlite3-ruby (1.2.2, 1.2.1)
termios (0.9.4)

As you can see mysql 2.7 is installed. When I put the line require "mysql"
in the first line of my program, I get the following error:

sh-3.2# ruby learn.rb
learn.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- mysql (LoadError)
from learn.rb:1

I am on Mac OS X 10.5.3 with Ruby 1.8.6, and the outputs included in the
email have been generated with "root". Any ideas why it is not working?

Thanks,

Guillermo

try this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql'

mysql being installed as gem require you first load rubygems to work
(unless you have RUBYOPT=rubygems which is not your case).
