[Rails] Re: db connection problem: Mac X, MySQL 5, Rails 1

[Graeme Shaw]

Doug,

Did you ever resolve this problem?  I'm having what sounds to be the 
same problem.

I've followed this installation guide: 
http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger

and when I attempted to follow this tutorial: 
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html

I encounter the same problem you describe the first time I try to 
connect to a database.

I'm using OS X 10.4.4, mysql 4.1.15, Ruby 1.8.2 (even though the above 
setup tutorial apparently had me install 1.8.4, rails_info/properties 
says it's 1.8.2), Rails 1, RubyGems 0.8.10.

If Doug, or anyone else has any suggestions for resolving this, it would 
be greatly appreciated, as it's a very frustrating problem!

Thanks,

Graeme
