I upgraded from 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit.  Here is my environment:

Windows 7 - 64-bit
ruby 1.9.1p243 (i386-mingw32)

.. which was probably built on 32 bit.

I'm using the 64-bit version of mysql.  What do I need to do to get this
running?

Before I get inundated with too much information, select the following
answer:

1.  Reinstall Ruby 1.9.1 using a 64-bit mingw installer package (if such
a monster exists).
2.  Install a 64-bit mysql gem (what is the command, the source, etc.)
3.  Install a 32-bit version of mysql.
4.  Other (I'll give you my answer)

Select an answer and provide some feedback where possible.

Many thanks in advance!

Not available yet.

Since Ruby is 32-bits, there is no 64-bits version of the gem.

You can still use a 32-bits mysql DLL to connect to 64-bits MySQL.

Just download the simplest 32-bits package for the exact same version
of the compiled gem, and you can connect to any type of MySQL version.

4:) First make sure you installed rubyinstaller via
http://rubyinstaller.org/,
then install the DevKit (select addons from that very page).  Then just
run 'gem install mysql'. voila!
