These are the steps that I took after reading John's reply:

First I ran this: gem install mysql

Then I downloaded this MySQL adapter for windows: 
http://www.vandomburg.net/pages/mysql-ruby-windows

Extracted the mysql.so to: C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt

Then copied the libmysql.dll from my PHP installation to the Ruby bin:
C:\ruby\bin


After that everything worked fine. Hope that helps out some of the 
Windows users.
