I had the same exact error message when I first tried to install the mysql-2.7.3 gem. But from the error message, we clearly see that only the RDocs are not being installed.
You can confirm that if you do a "gem list". If you want, you can simply do: gem install mysql --no-ri --no-rdoc It will install the gem, but not the documentation (which, from a Rails point of view, you should not be concerned about anyway). Other than that, if Rails 2.2.2 still fails to load, then either you have not installed MySQL server itself, or somehow libmysql.dll is not on the path list. Simply type "path" at the command prompt and check if your mysql\bin directory is listed there. If not, add it. Cheers!
