Actually, after your prompt to drop the lib in the %RUBY_HOME%\bin I tried the one that is in the %MYSQL_HOME%\bin i.e. not the one downloaded from InstantRails and it now works (well it seems to, no probs yet). So this clearly indicates that Ruby really can't see libmySQL.dll on the path i.e. as installed with MySQL itself (5.1 for me). So for now simply try cp %MYSQL_HOME%\bin\libmySQL.dll %RUBY_HOME%\bin.
