Getting error: The specified module could not be found. - C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32/lib/1.9/mysql_api.so (LoadError )

After installing pik, added Ruby 1.9.2 and then switched to Ruby 1.9.2, installed rails on Ruby 1.9.2.
On my existing rails application which has already been updated to Rails -v 3.0.3, I ran 'bundle install' and it executed and installed the gems. Tried to run rails server, but got error:

To fix this error, I copied "libmySQL.dll" file from 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin' to 'C:\Ruby192\bin' and then on starting the server it ran without any error.

    Hurray! My problem is resolved!
    You must use only 32bit libmySQL.dll for now!

    I got this error after doing the above one
    Incorrect MySQL client library version! This gem was compiled for 6.1.3 but the
    client library is 5.5.27. (RuntimeError)
