Hey Joe-
You need the native mysql bindings. If you installed mysql from standard debian packages you should be able to get it to work with the following command:
$ sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config
Copy and paste that and make sure you keep the extra -- it is needed.

Hi Joe
You mention you're using debian - is ruby installed from binary packages or from source?
If it's binary you should just be able to apt-get install libdbd-mysql-ruby If source make sure you have ruby-dev and build-essential* installed, then try installing the gem again.
* you probably don't need all of build-essential, but there's no harm in doing so
HTH, Simon
