See the FAQ: 2. What does "[-] Invalid driver specified" mean?

• Changed state: Invalid

"msf > db_driver mysql
[*] Using database driver mysql"

I got that part fixed already, but the mysqlCompat Error is there anyway..

I'm having this exact same problem but with Mac OS X 10.6.7. Is there a 
solution?

According to this blog entry: http://baber.wordpress.com/category/backtrack/

sudo gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri -v=2.7 mysql -- 
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config

fixed the issue for him

I know this is a late reply (because this is a closed issue, so I don't see 
updates on it), but: Use postgresql with Metasploit. The full installer 
installs it for you on Windows and Linux. If you're not using the full 
installer or you're on MacOS X then use postgresql anyways. There are known 
issues with Metasploit and MySQL and I expect eventually MySQL support will go 
the way of sqlite3.
