rails 2.2 connection to MySQL

rubyonrails-talk
1

I have been trying to connect to MySQL thru rails. Initially I had rails 2.1.2 and upgraded to rails 2.2 to use RestAPI in sproutcore. Once I have upgraded my rails version to 2.2, I have been getting this error. All I did is the following:

1. rails addressbook 2. cd addressbook 3. script/generate scaffold Contact first_name:string lastname:string 4. rake db:migrate

I also change the database.yml to suite MySQL.

I have been getting the below error. Could someone please help me resolve this issue

ERROR: srilatha-bhuvanapallis-macbook-pro:contacts Latha$ rake db:migrate(in / Users/Latha/LearnSproutCore/AddressBookWithDatabase/contacts) !!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql. rake aborted! no such file to load -- mysql

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Thanks in advance Latha
