I am not fixin it, I'm disabling a feature :). By default if UNIXSockets
are enabled (defined? UNIXSocket) and the host is localhost or nil (we
are connectin a server in the same machine) uses a unix socket that
seems to be in /tmp/mysql.sock (in my linux installation it is in
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock). What we can do to make it work is to correct
the path to this socket or disabling unix sockets for "localhost" then
the line could be changed to this:

if (host == nil) and defined? UNIXSocket

Only when host is not defined uses unix sockets, or this

if false

This way disables any try to use unix sockets

Bye
