Rails - Mar 2006 - encoding: utf8 in database.yml causes error

Hi

Using ruby 1.8, rails 1.0, mysql 4.1.11

in database.yml:

  adapter: mysql
  encoding: utf8
  database: myproject_development
  username: user
  password: password
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

but when I start the error I get:

Can''t initialize character set utf8 (path:
/usr/share/libmysqlclient/charsets/)

Can anyone tell me what file it''s looking for, and how I tell it where
to find it? (The path it''s trying doesn''t even exist.)

cheers

Daniel

Guess you need to install libmysqlclient for your distribution. You 
didn''t say what distro do you use.
