Ruby / MySQL 5.1 Problem

Not sure why, but Ruby and the MySQL 5.1 client library don’t play well together.
Fortunately the the solution is simple: download an older MySQL client library from (libmySQL.dll) or (libmySQL.dll) and copy it to your Rubybin folder.

This worked for me with: Windows 7, MySQL 5.1.47, Ruby 1.9.1 and rubygems: sequel 3.13.0, mysql (2.8.1 x86-mingw32).
