Help Please for installing sam-mysql-ruby using devkit451 on Vista for ruby 192

[storyloops]

I get an error that MySQL config can't be found as in the bottom
paste. It should be an easy fix? My mysql installation is working
just fine, so how do I get this gem to do its thing. The main task at
hand is to get Typo-6.0.4 working with ruby 192. The sam-mysql-ruby
gem is supposed to work or this a crazy thing to be doing right now?

gem install sam-mysql-ruby --platform=ruby

There's a lot of options to try. Can anyone help to save some time? I
tried without the --platform=ruby and get the same issue.

C:/Ruby192/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

sam-mysql-ruby is a fork of mysql gem, which already have binaries for Windows:

Please use "gem install mysql" and follow instructions detailed in our
Tutorials:

If you want to compile from source (which might not be the case) you
need do something like this:

subst X: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1"
gem install mysql --platform=ruby -- --with-mysql-dir=X:
--with-mysql-lib=X:\lib\opt
subst X: /D

All considering you have RubyInstaller DevKit properly installed.
