The MySQL driver apparently requires compilation of the native bindings.
Do
you have a C compiler installed on your machine and the environment
variables
properly setup for the MySQL includes and libraries?

And if you want to answer “Huh?” to the above paragraph, either use a
win32
gem if one’s available, ask the people maintaining the driver to make
one,
use Cygwin for development, or switch to Postgres which already has
prebuilt
mswin32 Ruby bindings available. Oh, and it also owns MySQL
