uninitialized constant Mysql::error

I am trying to get my rails app to production but this is my first time. I am running mysql 5.5 and gem 2.8.1.

When trying rake db:setup RAILS_ENV="production", I get the following:

rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Mysql::Error

any help is much appreciated

i thought it might be useful to add the trace file for this error. any help would be greatly appreciated:

rake db:setup RAILS_ENV="production" --trace
(in /Users/chris/rails_projects/sienab)
** Invoke db:setup (first_time)
** Invoke db:create (first_time)
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Invoke rails_env (first_time)
** Execute rails_env
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:create
rake aborted!

As mentioned in Rails 3 Mysql Problems you should be using the mysql2 gem if possible.

Make sure to change mysql to mysql2 in both your Gemfile and your database.yml

The actual error is about Mysql::Error constant.

Are you including mysql gem in Gemfile?

Are you using mysql in database.yml?
