Segfault when requiring both mysql and mechanize

[Rod Dik]

Hello, there's a simple script

require 'rubygems'
require 'mysql'
require 'mechanize' #it works if I delete this string

m = Mysql.new('localhost', 'h3', 'h3', 'h3')

that fails with

C:/Program Files/ActiveState Komodo IDE
5/lib/support/dbgp/rubylib/rdbgp/processor.rb:370: [BUG] Segmentation
fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11) [i386-mswin32]

but, doesn't fail if I comment out the string requiring mechanize. How
can I fix it? TIA

I am having the same problem in 1.9 however I don't use mechanize. My
script worked fine in version 1.8.6 but after the upgrade generates a
segmentation fault:

What about with a newer version of ruby?

There are no binaries for the Windows version greater than 1.9.1.

I tried installing 1.8.7 but the windows distribution seems incomplete.

Other scripts work fine in 1.9.

There are no binaries for the Windows version greater than 1.9.1.

I was thinking more of a higher patch level.

I'm getting the same problem with 1.9.1 p129

I was thinking more of a higher patch level.

How did you upgraded your Ruby? Also, did you build from source mysql
gem?

AFAIK the binary version of mysql gem is *only* for 1.8, and can't
work with 1.9 without being recompiled and linked to Ruby 1.8 runtime/
shared library.
