password: rubyonrails

I tried updating the mysql-ruby library to 2.6.3 figuring it might be the ole OLD_PASSWORD function problem (running MySQL 4.1.10), but no dice. Any one got any ideas? any place I can look to specifically find the problem?

I have a question (since I followed your last step of updating the mysql-ruby library)… does the –with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_conf option tell it to look for the configuration there? or to put it’s own configuration there??? (Because if it tells to look there, which I doubt, since it is not a plaintext file, that might be why it doesn’t connect)

I’ll be checking back.. please email me if your respond so I don’t miss it…
