Description Sterling Stein 2006-01-11 13:08:05 UTC

Doing
emerge ruby-dbi
with USE="mysql"
does not quite work.  Running it results in this message:
class/module (TypeError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:392:in `_get_full_driver'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi/dbi.rb:372:in `connect'
	from ./db.rb:10
because the library from mysql-ruby is missing.
It should be marked as a conditional dependency in the ebuild.
After doing
emerge mysql-ruby,
everything worked just fine.

Thanks, I've fixed mysql and postgresql.  Looks like firebird and odbc are probably still broken, though.
