Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Do you (or does anyone else) know if I can
download and install the mysql gem locally? I'm behind a corporate
firewall and it doesn't seem that the Gem package manager can get out.
So, I guess what I'm asking is:
- Can I download the gem file?
- Where do I get it from, if I can?
- Is there any special syntax for installing it from a local file?
Thanks again!
