Answer 1

Fast forward to March 2012. I solved this problem on windows 7 x64) by renaming my Ruby\b\bin\libmysql.dll and then copying libmysql.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.0.2\lib\opt to Ruby\bin

There was a newer version of libmysql.dll at C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.37 but the gem didn't like the non 6.x version.
