"mysql" 2.7.3 gem install for Windows appears incomplete

Rails
21

It might be documentation issue (I’m running into it too)

Someone suggested.
gem install mysql --no-rdoc --no-ri

The solution I found for this problem (the [BUG] Segmentation fault
error) was to install Mysql 5.0.67 rather than the latest stable version
of Mysql 5.1.30.

I think the problem is the client version of libmysql.dll . If ruby is
using libmysql.dll 5.1.X from %PATH% or from \bin you get this
error. The solution is to replace this library with libmysql.dll 5.0.X.
I got mine from php installation and everything start running fine.

This is a hack to avoid reinstalling the server again.

Downloading the libmysql.dll 5.0.X and saving it to \bin worked
for me also to resolve this same issue as hack to keep windows rails &
mysql version moving ahead.
