mysql e rails... won't work!

ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32] Rails 3.0.0 gem -v 1.3.7

When I create an application

rails new application -d mysql

then I try to start the server

rails server

I get this message:

Could not find gem 'mysql2 (>= 0, runtime)' in any of the gem sources. Try running `bundle install`.

so I try bundle install

what am I doing wrong?

Here's your hint. Do you have the ming32 toolset installed?

Fred
