Hi All,
I'm running: WinXP-Pro/SP3 Rails 2.3.5 MySQL 5.0.37-community-nt
I ran rake db:create:all and got something like: LibMySQL.dll required.
I had a worse symptom previously when, on an earlier post on a related failure, Sharagoz kindly suggested I drop back to a 5.0 version of MySQL.
As I prepared this post, I wanted to recall my version. In particular, I wanted to run select * version() in MySQL. But I was told Windows didn't have that app. So I added a path to it in the environment. ( thought I requested this during installation.)
When I ran the rake command this time, the problem disappeared.
I just posted this to encourage other people who, like me, sometimes get discouraged with all the problems that software development gives us. We just need to keep on plugging and help others when we can.
Best wishes, Richard
