[Rails] Re: Rails and MySQL woes

Update:

After 3 days of shear struggle, I got the following combination to work
together:

1. Ruby 1.9.2
2. Rails 3.1.1
3. MySql 5.5.17 (64 bit)
4. Windows 7 64 bit

After reading tons and tons of blogs with advice that didn't work (but
Thank you to those on here who tried.. for some reason the blogs here
were more helpful).. and almost getting to the same place as this guy..
whose post I copy below:

I've been trying to have Rails work with MySQL for 2 days now with no
positive result. I followed numerous guidelines and read kilobytes of
forum threads. All in vain.

Ruby 1.9.2 + Rails 3.1.1 + MySQL 5.5 on 64bit Win7 is Mission
Impossible.

No, above instructions did not help.

I'm not wasting any more time on this Ruby crap. Enough is enough.

I've found the correct answer:

see this link:
http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/

I must say though, that I'm pretty jaded/bitter about rails. Three long
days to get "hello world" with MySQL (the most mainstream DB in the
world) working??? Rails you get an F.
