I've been having problems with a MySQL Server installation that got messed up after a power outage.

Configuration

Intel i5 Mac running OS X 10.6.5
Ruby 1.9.2 installed
Rails 3.0.1 installed
MySQL Server (finally) installed and running
I completely reinstalled MySQL, which deleted the local development/test/production databases. So, I have run create database development; in MySQL to get the dev database ready for a migration.

Current Goal

Run rake db:migrate to get my databases back again. (I cannot currently access my databases or Mysql at all from Rails.)

Error

Using the gem 'mysql', '2.8.1' and run rake db:migrate, I get the error:

rake aborted!
undefined method 'init' for Mysql:Class
