You get around this by actually installing the MySQL gem with C bindings. The one you guys are talking about is the pure Ruby one.
The pure-MySQL library is terrible for performance and can cause some seriously flaky stuff. There are a number of posts on tis list that discuss the installation of that library. If you're getting the error relating to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.7/lib/mysql.bundle then you have a half-installed mysql driver and I bet you're on a Mac. The solution that worked for me was to do this: http://www.napcsweb.com/blog/2007/06/01/mysql-gem-on-osx/ I hope that helps!
