mysql connection failure

["rb at juun dot com" <rb at juun dot com>]

ok, i downloaded and "installed" the db plugins from the rb website, closed and 
relaunched the rb ide, created a brand new project, and put the following code 
in the action method of a pushbutton:

  dim db as MySQLDatabase
  db = new MySQLDatabase
  db.host = "localhost"
  db.username = "mrpib"
  db.password = "mrpibpass"
  db.databasename = "dude"
  if db.connect then
    msgbox "good"
  else
    msgbox "bad"
  end if

it fails every time.  compiles and runs, but db.connect() is returning false.

the mrpib user has been granted full access to the "dude" db.

using the command-line mysql client, i can connect to the "dude" db as user 
"mrpib" with pass "mrpibpass" (from localhost) and modify/read it to my heart's 
content.

why is it that this rb code is failing?

os x 10.3.4 / rb 5.5.3 / mysql 4.1.3

thanks.
